I’m not sure if your asking for the solution, but Hope this helps!
Reduce each ratio to its minimum expression to find if they are equal.
35:28
10:8
Since both ratios reduce to 5:4, they are equivalent.
Another way to check a:b is equivalent to c:d, is that a*d = b*c
In this case, this will be true if 35 times 8 is equal to 10 times 28:
Since both products are equal, then the ratios are equivalent.
Answer:
As shown in picture, this is a trapezoid.
The area of a trapezoid is calculated by:
A = (base1 + base2) x height x (1/2)
To work out A, we need to find out base1, base2, and height.
base1 = YZ =
base2 = XW =
Otherwise, the height (distance between base1 and base2) is 4 as shown in picture.
=> A = (3 + 7) x 4 x (1/2) = 20
Hope this helps!
