Let the two numbers be x and y

x + y = 5(x-y)
x + y = 5x -5y
6y = 4x
x= (6/4)y
x= (3/2)y

there the ratio is 3/2

frosja888 [35]
For the first part remember that an equilateral triangle is a triangle in which all three sides are equal & all three internal angles are each 60°. <span>So x-coordinate of R is in the middle of ST = (1/2)(2h-0) = h
And for the second </span><span> since this is an equilateral triangle the x coordinate of point R is equal to the coordinate of the midpoint of ST, which you figured out in the previous answer. Hope this works for you</span>
