Answer:

Let's verify is the corresponding sides have same ratio:

ΔABC, sides: 6, 9, 11
ΔXYZ, sides: 21, 31.5, 38.5

Ratios:

6/21 = 2/7 (divide by 3)
9/31.5 = 2/ 7 (divide by 4.5)
11/38.5 = 2/7 (divide by 5.5)

The ratios are same, so the triangles are similar

Yes, the sides are all proportional

The scale factor (ΔABC to ΔXYZ) is 2/7 (or ΔXYZ to ΔABC is 7/2 = 3.5)

How do you divide 3/8 by 6/7 in simplest form

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

7/16

Step-by-step explanation:

First, it is good to know that when you divide fractions, you are multiplying it's reciprocal.

6/7's reciprocal is 7/6, since the reciprocal is $\frac{1}{6/7}$

3/8 / 6/7 =

3/8 * 7/6

Now that we have that, we can just multiply the two:

3/8 * 7/6 =

21/48 =

7/16

Hope this helped :)

What is the simplified form of the expression√1/196

Simora [160]

I'm assuming the square root is over the entire fraction (and not just over the 1). If so, then the answer is 1/14

Apply the square root to each part:

sqrt(1) = sqrt(1^2) = 1

sqrt(196) = sqrt(14^2) = 14

The general rule is sqrt(x^2) = x where x is any positive number.

Note how

(1/14)*(1/14) = (1*1)/(14*14) = 1/196

showing that 1/14 multiplied with itself is 1/196. The square root just thinks of this process in reverse. You start with 1/196 and end up with 1/14.
