5^2 + 12^2 = 13^2


is the second or third Pythagorean triple on the list, which gives us the answer directly.


But if we didn't know that, let x be the short leg:


x^2 + (x+7)^2 = 13^2


2x^2 + 14 x + 49 - 169 = 0


x^2 + 7x  - 60 = 0


(x+12)(x-5)=0


Rejecting the negative root, x=5, other side 12, the Pythagorean triple we found.

How would i anser this select all the ratios equivalent to 4:6
Natali5045456 [20]
If we try to simplify the ratio or try to multiply both by any number, we will get the equivalent ratio


Like :

\frac{4}{6}  \\


Divide ( simplify ) by 2


\frac{ \frac{4}{2} }{ \frac{6}{2} }  \\  \\  \\  =  >  \frac{2}{3}




Or multiply by any number,



\frac{4}{6}  \\  \\  \\  =  >  \frac{4 \times 2}{6 \times 2}  \\  \\ \\    =  >  \frac{8}{12}





From the example, 2 / 3 and 8 / 12 are equivalent ratios to 4 / 6
