Example: For every 3 boys, there are 4 girls.

Ratio: 3:4 also 3/4

How to use it?

Example question: If there are 3 boys for every 4 girls and there are 27 boys in the class, how many girls are there?

How to set up the ratio:

3 27
— = —
4 x


Solve it?

[Cross Multiply]

3x= 108

[Divide]

X= 36

How to check it?

Reduce 27/36 and see if it equals 3/4

OR

Plug both into the calculator and both should come out with the same decimal. In this case it is 0.75

I need more assistance :D Instructions: Using the image, find the distance between the points given on the graph.
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

I usually explain even in the answer.

So we use som\sqrt{x}ething called distance formula which is branched of Pythagorean theorem.

But we dont need to as it just makes it more complicated. We need to find split into 2 vectors, one vertical, and horizontal. The horizontal is 5 long.

The vertical is 1, you can find them by calculating how long is it and how tall.

Use pythogorean theorem from the formula and do 5^2+1^2 = c^2

25+1 = 26, so the answer is √26

I am pretty sure answer is right. Always take abolute value

<u>√26</u>

△ABC∼△DEF , △ABC has a height of 14 centimeters, and △DEF has a height of 6 centimeters. What is the ratio of the area of △ABC t
Kamila [148]
Since triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEF then the ratio of the corresponding sides is constant.
The ratio of the corresponding lengths is referred to as the linear scale factor.
Considering the heights of the two triangles;
L.S.F = 14/6
          = 7/3
The ratio in area (A.S.F) is given by (L.S.F)²
Therefore, A.S.F = (7/3)² = 49/9
Thus te ratio of the area of triangle ABC to DEF is 49:9

L is not valid.

Step-by-step explanation:

For any triangle, the sum of the two legs must be greater than the hypotenuse. Otherwise the two legs would not be long enough to touch.
