Step-by-step explanation:

For example:

Ex: 2:3 :: 6:9

In this question, the means are 3 and 6.

The extremes are 2 and 9.

We use this method to find whether the two ratios are equal or not.

We multiply the means and the extremes, and if there products are same, then these two ratios are proportional.

If these two ratios are proportional, their "means" = "extremes"

=> Means = Extremes

=> 3 x 6 = 2 x 9

=> 18 = 18

So, these two ratios are proportional.

Hope this helps you.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + x - 2 = x² - x +2x -2 = x(x - 1) + 2*(x-1) = (x-1)(x+2)

8x² + 4x = 4x ( 2x + 1)

3x² + 10x + 8 = 3x² + 6x + 4x + 4*2 =3x * (x + 2) + 4 * ( x + 2) = (x + 2)(3x + 4)

The area of a cross section perpendicular to the base of a rectangular prism is 45 square inches. If the length and width of the

Naily [24]

The height of the prism is $2.25 \ in$

Explanation:

It is given that the area of the cross section of the rectangular prism is 45 square inches.

Length of the rectangular prism is $5 \ in$

Width of the rectangular prism is $5 \ in$

To determine the height of the prism, let us substitute these values in the formula $SA=(2l+2w)h$ , we get,

$45=(2(5)+2(5))h$

Multiplying the terms within the bracket, we get,

$45=(10+10)h$

Adding the terms within the bracket, we have,

$45=20h$

Dividing both sides by 20, we get,

$2.25=h$

Thus, the height of the rectangular prism is $2.25 \ in$
