First, simplify the 16:4 ratio.
• 16:4 ÷ 2 = 8:2 ÷ 2 = 4:1
Now, check to see if they're equivalent:
• 3:1 = 4:1 ???
- 3:1 =/= 4:1
So, NO these ratios are not equivalent.
Have you learned about how to find the hypotenuse yet? If so:
The Pythagorean Theorum states that
a^2+b^2= c^2 (sorry, that was the best way I could type squaring numbers, but ^2 means to square the number)
If you plug it in:
10^2 + 60^2 = 65^2
After solving:
100 + 3,600 = 4225
3,700 = 4225
3,700 and 4,225 are NOT equal, so therefore, it is not possible to make a right triangle using the lengths of 10 ft, 65 ft, and 60ft
