12 and 20 are both divisible by 4
12 ÷ 4 = 3
20 ÷ 4 = 5
-------------------------------------------------
The simplest ratio would be 3:5

It would be 12 to 20 but simplified it is 3 to 5

Find the perimeter of the following triangle.

pashok25 [27]

Hello!

To find the perimeter of the triangle, we need to find the length of all the sides using the <u>distance formula</u>.

The distance formula is: $d =\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$ .

First, we can find the distance between the points (-3, -1) and (2, -1). The point (-3, -1) can be assigned to $(x_{1},y_{1})$ , and (2, -1) is assigned to $(x_{2},y_{2})$ . Then, substitute the values into the formula.

$d =\sqrt{(2 - (-3))^{2}+ (-1 - (-1))^{2}}$

$d =\sqrt{5^{2}+0^{2}}$

$d =\sqrt{25} = 5$

The distance between the points (-3, -1) and (2, -1) is 5 units.

Secondly, we need to find the distance between the points (2, 3) and (2, -1). Assign those points to $(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $(x_{2},y_{2})$ , then substitute it into the formula.

$d =\sqrt{(2 - 2)^{2}+ (-1 - 3)^{2}}$

$d =\sqrt{0^{2}+(-4)^{2}}$

$d =\sqrt{16} = 4$

The distance between the two points (2, 3) and (2, -1) is 4 units.

Finally, we use the distance formula again to find the distance between the points (-3, -1) and (2, 3). Remember the assign the ordered pairs to $(x_{1},y_{1})$ and $(x_{2},y_{2})$ and substitute!

$d =\sqrt{(2 -(-3))^{2}+ (3 - (-1))^{2}}$
