Which equation correctly shows the multiplication of the means and extremes in the proportion 7.2 ∕ 9.6 = 21.6 ∕ 28.8?

a. 7.2 ⋅ 9.6 = 21.6 ⋅ 28.8

b. 9.6 ⋅ 21.6 = 28.8 ⋅ 7.2

c. 7.2 ⋅ 21.6 = 28.8 ⋅ 9.6

d. 7.2 ⋅ 28.8 = 21.6 ⋅ 28.8

Answer:

b. 9.6 ⋅ 21.6 = 28.8 ⋅ 7.2

Step-by-step explanation:

When a proportion say a/b = c/d is given, the outer terms are called the extremes while the inner/middle terms are called the means.

In the case of a / b = c / d,

the outer terms are a and d

the inner terms are b and c

Often times, we find the cross products of the proportion to test whether the two ratios in the proportion are equal. To do that, we find the product of the extremes and equate it to the product of the means.

In the case of a / b = c / d,

the cross products are a x d and b x c

So if a x d = b x c, then a/b = c/d is a true proportion.

Now to the question;

Given proportion: 7.2 / 9.6 = 21.6 / 28.8

Extremes = 7.2 and 28.8

Means = 9.6 and 21.6

The correct multiplication of the means and extremes is therefore

9.6 x 21.6 = 7.2 x 28.8

or

9.6 · 21.6 = 7.2 · 28.8

Find value of y and x
Vika [28.1K]
Since the triangle is isosceles the measure of angle B is also 47.
since you have dropped a perpendicular bisector the measure of angle x is 90. and since the angles must add to 180 you get 47+47+a=180 and a= 86. since y is half this we have y is 43

if you like my answer please rate as brainliest! thx
