Answer:

Length of the longest side of ΔABC = 3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

If two similar triangles have a scale factor a:b, then the ratio of perimeters is also a:b.

Here, the converse is applied.

The perimeter of similar triangles is in the ratio 1:5, so, the corresponding lengths are also in the ratio 1:5

Perimeter of ΔABC : Perimeter of ΔDEF = 1:5

Longest side of ΔABC : Longest side of ΔDEF = 1:5

Longest side of ΔABC : 15 = 1:5

∴ Longest side of ΔABC = (1/5) * 15 = 3 units

Show calculations for each of the ratio table
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

From left to right:

3, 30, 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by determining the ratio of yellow to red paint. Use the column where both amounts are given:

yellow to red = 2 to 6 = 1 to 3

2 to 6 the same as 1 to 3 when reduced, by dividing both sides by 2.

This means yellow paint is a third of red paint. Backwards, red paint is three times yellow paint.

To go from yellow to red, do yellow X 3.

To go from red to yellow, do red ÷ 3.

Column 1:

1 X 3 = 3

Column 3:

10 X 3 = 30

Column 4:

60 ÷ 3 = 20

The ratios are:

1 to 3

2 to 6

10 to 30

20 to 60
