Why is 16:14 and 64:60 not equivalent

2 answers:

6 0

16:14 =16/14
64:60=64/60
16/14=64/60
(We r doing the cross thing)
16x60=14x64
960=896
Is 960 equivalent (equal) to 869 ? No .
So they r not equivalent because the result is not the same.

The 2 ratios are almost equivalent, but not quite. In order to tell if they are equivalent, there are a number of ways but the 2 most common are 1, finding the decimal equivalent of the fraction, and 2, finding the scale factor.

1: Take 16, divide by 14. You should get something around 1.142. Take 64, divide by 60. You should get something around 1.066666.... Not equivalent.

2: Find the scale factor between the 2. To find scale factor, divide the larger numerator and larger denominator by the smaller numerator and smaller numerator. 64/16, 60/14. Not equal.

Triangle ABC has side lengths: V6, V2, and 2/2 units.

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

90°, 60°, and 30°

60°.

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle ABC has side lengths √6, √2, and 2√2 units.

It is clear that the triangle ABC is right triangle because (2√2)² = (√6)² + (√2)² that means the side lengths satisfy the Pythagoras Theorem.

Now, if the angle between hypotenuse (2√2 units) and base (√2 units) is $\theta$ , then

$\cos \theta = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{2\sqrt{2} } = \frac{1}{2}$

Hence, $\theta$ = 60°

Therefore, the three angles of the triangle are 90°, 60°, and 30°.

Now, if the base of the triangle is 16 units, then other two side lengths will also change proportionally to remain the triangle a right triangle.

And in that case the base angle will remain 60°. (Answer)

What do I need to subtract from to get angle two?

ololo11 [35]

Step 1) Add up the three given angles: 125+109+83 = 317

Step 2) Subtract the result (found in step one) from 360
360 - 317 = 43

The reason for the 360 is because for any four-sided polygon, the angles always add up to 360 degrees.

The answer is 43
