You have to subtract the 6 first and then divide the rest by 1/8.
34-6=28
28×1/8=224
First, classify each line segments of triangle that are the same in both triangles.
RS = XU
RT = XW
ST = WU
Second, divide to find the scale ratio.
7.5/3 = 2.5
16/6.4 = 2.5
15/6 = 2.5
Since the scale ratios are identical, the triangles are similar.
Therefore, the answer is [ Yes, the sides are in the ratio 2:5 ]
Best of Luck!
It is usual to represent ratios in their simplest form so that we are not operating with large numbers. Reducing ratios to their simplest form is directly linked to equivalent fractions.
For example: On a farm there are 4 Bulls and 200 Cows. Write this as a ratio in its simplest form.
Bulls <span>: </span>Cows
4 <span>: </span>200
If we halve the number of bulls then we must halve the number of cows so that the relationship between the bulls and cows stays constant. This gives us:
Bulls <span>: </span>Cows
2 <span>: </span>100
Halving again gives us
1 <span>: </span>50
So the ratio of Bulls to Cows equals 1 : 50. The ratio is now represented in its simplest form.
An example where we have 3 quantities.
On the farm there are 24 ducks, 36 geese and 48 hens.
Ratio of ducks <span>: </span>geese <span>: </span>hens
24 <span>: </span>36 <span>: </span>48
Dividing each quantity by 12 gives us
2 <span>: </span>3 : 4
So the ratio of ducks to geese to hens equals 2 : 3 : 4 which is the simplest form since we can find no further common factor.
Answer:
NO
Step-by-step explanation:
Note :
Consider a triangle with sides‘s length a , b and c
triangle inequalities state that we must have c - a < b < c + a
now , is the third side always the longest ?
the answer is NO: (let’s take a counter example )
in a triangle with 2 sides‘s length 3 , 4
the third side could measure 2
because 4-3 < 2 < 4+3
Answer: There isn't a possible way you can really answer this question because I don't know how much one piece cost in the first place , but if I had to guess I would say around 50-80 dollars for a cake is enough for 57 guests.
explanation: I say this because I know usually cakes for a decent amount of people are around 50-80 dollars.
