Answer:
1.67 m, 8.33 m
Step-by-step explanation:
If the ratio of lengths is 1 : 5, then the ratio of the shortest length to the total is ...
1 : (1+5) = 1 : 6
The shortest length is (10 m)×(1/6) = 1.67 m. The longer length is 10 -1.67 = 8.33 m.
The lengths of the pieces are 8.33 m and 1.67 m.
I think that it would be (x times 2)
obtuse because it all adds up to 180 degrees
