Answer:
5 2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply by (3 3/5)x/(1 1/2):
x = (2 1/4)(3 3/5)/(1 1/2) = (9/4)(18/5)(2/3) =27/5
x = 5 2/5
We have that
smaller figure
ha=8.7
ra=1.6
larger figure
hb=10.44
rb=1.92
ha/hb=8.7/10.44----> 0.83
ra/rb=1.6/1.92-------> 0.83
ratio smaller figure to the larger figure
1.6/1.92-------> divided by 1.6 both members[1.6/1.6]/[1.92/1.6]-------> 1/1.2
the ratio ha/hb is equal to the ratio ra/rb
so
the smaller figure and the larger figure are similar
and
the ratio smaller figure to the larger figure is equal to----> 1/1.2
the answer is
the option yes 1/1.2
If you notice the picture below, the amount of fencing, or perimeter, that will be used will be 3w + 2l
now

solve for "w", to see what critical points you get, and then run a first-derivative test on them, for the minimum
notice the

so. you can pretty much skip that one, though is a valid critical point, the width can't clearly be 0
so.. check the critical points on the other
