Hi there!

For the Pythagorean Theorem, basically you just need to apply this formula: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

And then find the root of the hypotenuse.

For example,

15^2 + 8^2 = the hypotenuse^2

Which equals, 225 + 64 = 289

Square root of 289 = 17

Please mark me brainliest if this helps!

Have a wonderful day!

One rectangle has a base of 12 inches and an altitude of 6 inches. The other has a base of 10 inches and an altitude of 5 inches

guajiro [1.7K]

Ratio of their bases = $$\frac{12}{10}$

Ratio of their altitudes = $$\frac{6}{5}$

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

For first rectangle, it was given that

Base 1 = 12 inches

Altitude 1 = 6 inches

For the second rectangle, it was given that

Base 2 = 10 inches

Altitude 2 = 5 inches

Ratio of their bases is given by the ratio of the base of the first rectangle to the second one.

Ratio of their altitudes is given by the ratio of the altitude of the first rectangle to the altitude of the second rectangle.

Ratio of their bases = $$\frac{12}{10}$

Ratio of their altitudes = $$\frac{6}{5}$
