To simplify a ratio, first make into the fraction form. a:b = \frac{a}{b}

Then find the prime factors of both the numerator and denominator.

\frac{15}{37} = \frac{(3)(5)}{(1)(37)}

Now cancel out any common factors. But if there isn't any common factors, then the fraction or ratio is in its simplest formula.

And that is the case here.

And because the question wants the answer in ratio form, make the fraction back into a ratio.

So, A. 15:37 is the answer.

Answer:

P = 30 degrees, PQ = 6.93, PN = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

For the angle, just subtract the angles you already know from 180, so 180 - 90 - 60= P. P = 30 degrees.

For PQ, use tan60 = x/4, or 4tan(60), which equals 6.93.

For PN, use cos60 = 4/x, or 4/cos60, which equals 8.

Hopefully this helps- let me know if you have any questions!
