To find which ratio is higher, we can first convert the ratios into fractions (that makes it easier, at least for me) and then simplify the fractions and see which one is greater.

Since ratios are basically division, 15:20 = $\frac{15}{20}$ , and

12:16 = $\frac{12}{16}$

Now we simplify these fractions. 15 and 20 have a GCF of 5, so taking out the common number gives us the simplified fraction of $\frac{3}{4}$ .

12 and 16 have a GCF of 4, so taking out the common number gives us the simplified fraction of $\frac{3}{4}$ . Since $\frac{3}{4}$ = $\frac{3}{4}$ , these ratios are the same.

Find the length of the missing

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

using pythagoras theorem

here 15 is hypotenuse since it is opposite 0f 90 degree

9 and x are the other smaller sides of a triangle

according to pythagoras thorem the sum of square of two smaller sides of a triangle is equal to the square of hypotenuse. So,

9^2 + x^2 = 15^2

81 + x^2 = 225

x^2 = 225 - 81

x^2 = 144

x = $\sqrt{144$

x = 12
