Equivalent/Equal ratios<em> - Definition of Equivalent Ratio A ratio can be represented as a fraction. The concept of an equivalent ratio is similar to the concept of equivalent fractions. A ratio that we get either by multiplying or dividing by the same number, other than zero, to the antecedent and the consequent of a ratio is called an equivalent ratio.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:

You find a parallelogram area by this formula:

Where
b is its base and
h, its height.
You get
b's value applying distance between two points formula.
If A and B points form the base:

And
h is the perpendicular distance between both bases.

And in attached picture you can find an example in progress you may want to finish.
The piece of wood is 48 times as long as the nail (12 feet = 144 inches) because 3 goes into 144 48 times.
