I believe this is right:
Least: 8 (length) x 1 (width) = 8
Greatest: 5 (length) x 4 (width) = 20
Difference: 20 - 8 = 12

Find the distance between the points (3,5) and (12,2)

arlik [135]

Answer:

9.4868

Step-by-step explanation:

Length = √((x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2)

= √((12-(3))2 + (2-(5))2)

= √(81+9)

= √(90)

= 9.4868

What are the means of the following proportion 17/51=28/84?

Tamiku [17]

The two middle numbers are the means and outer ones are extremes.

So, in $\frac{17}{50}= \frac{28}{84}$ 50 and 28 are means and 17 and 84 are extremes.

Suppose we have two ratios a:b and c:d which are in proportion.

So it is written as : $\frac{a}{b}=\frac{c}{d}$ so 'a' and 'd' are extremes and 'b' and 'c' are means.
