Mathematics

Radda [10]3 years ago

Answer:

y : x: = 5 : 4

Step-by-step explanation:

x to y = 4 to 5

Rewrite;

x:y = 4:5

Remember, a ratio is another way of representing a fraction, hence one can do the same operations that one could do with a fraction. Therefore, one can take the cross products of a ratio;

x : y= 4 : 5

5x = 4y

Inverse operations;

5x = 4y

x = \frac{4}{5}y

Now substitute this into the equation y:x

y : \frac{4}{5}y

Rewrite as a fraction;

\frac{y}{\frac{5}{4}y}

Simplify;

\frac{1}{\frac{4}{5}}\\\\\frac{5}{4}

Rewrite as a ratio;

y : x = 5 : 4

Keelie has a triangular-shaped card. The lengths of its sides are 3.9 cm, 5.2 cm, and 6.5 cm. Is the card a right triangle?
alexdok [17]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the longest side is 6.5 cm, so let it be hypotenuse c.

Verifying by right angle formula

c^2=a^2+b^2

(6.5)^2=(3.9)^2+(5.2)^2

42.25=15.21+27.04

42.25=42.25

Hence the given triangle is a right angles triangle
