Answer:

See answers below

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following ratios. We are to express them in their simplest forms

15:12

= 15/12

= (3*5)/(3*4)

= 3/3 * 5/4

= 5/4

b) 42:1

= 42/1

= 42

Given that 2:x :: 4:6

2/x = 4/6

Cross multiply

4x = 2*6

4x = 12

x = 12/4

x = 3

Hence the value of x is 3

Ede4ka [16]

Answer: The area common to both triangle is 31.77 sq. cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

30-60-90 triangles are placed.

So, the ratio of sides would be

$1:\sqrt{3}:2$

Since Hypotenuse = 12 cm

So, it becomes,

$2x=12\\\\x=\dfrac{12}{2}=6$

So, Base would be

$x=6\ cm$

and Perpendicular would be

$\sqrt{3}x=6\sqrt{3}$

So, Area common to the both triangles would be

$\dfrac{1}{2}\times base\times height\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 6\times 6\sqrt{3}\\\\=18\sqrt{3}\\\\=31.177$

Hence, the area common to both triangle is 31.77 sq. cm.
