Answer:
a : c = 7 : 10
Step-by-step explanation:
The two ratios (a : b and b : c) both have b in common, so to work out what a : c is, we can use b to 'bridge' the two ratios together.
However, in a : b, b is 4. But in b : c, b is 2. We need to make sure b is the same in both ratios before we can combine the ratios together. The easiest way to do this is to multiply b : c by 2 to get b : c = 4 : 10. Now b is 4 in both ratios.
So now, we can combine the two ratios together to get a : b : c = 7 : 4 : 10. Since we only want a : c though, we can just drop the b and get a : c = 7 : 10. No simplifying is necessary since the ratio is already in its simplest form.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The picture of the question in the attached figure
we know that
----> by SOH (opposite side divided by the hypotenuse)
we have
solve for BC
substitute the values
So if one bit of the length, is half the size of the other bit then we can make the following equation, for x being the length of rope:
x + 2x = 66
3x = 66
x = 22
That is the length, of the smaller one (half the big one), so 2x = 44. Hence d) is your answer.
Hope I helped!
