Hello!
This makes a triangle
The cat is 20 ft high
The triangle is 20 feet high
The is 6 ft between the ladder and the tree
The base is 6 ft long
You use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this

a and b are the base and height
put in the values you know

square the numbers
36 + 400 =

Add
436 =

Take the square root of 436
20.9 = c
Since this is lower than the length of the ladder the ladder is long enough
The answer is yes
Hope this helps!
3) Answer: 8:9 (Defense:Offense)
16 and 18 need to be simplified. They're both divisible by 2, getting 8:9, and can't be simplified any more or they won't be whole numbers.
4) Answer: 1:3 (Hit:Bat times)
5 and 15 are divisible by 3, making 1 and 3.
5) Answer: 1:65 (Hours:Miles)
3 and 195 is divisible by 3. (195 is divisible by 3 because 1+9+5=15, getting the sum of numbers will get a smaller number, and if that number, 15 in this case, is divisible by 3, then the larger number is divisible by 3. 195/3=65, so 1:65
6) Answer: 1:3 (Potatoes:Servings)
8 and 24 is divisible by 8, getting 1 and 3.
Answer:
x/6 = 3/9
9x = 18
x = 2
Answer: 2:6 as 3:9
If x:6 as 3:9, then x is equal to
---
Equation:
(x/6) = 3/9
x = 6(3/9)
Step-by-step explanation:
Ratio and propoertion
6 to 4=x to 6
6:4=x:6
6/4=x/6
3/2=x/6
mutiply both sides by 6
18/2=x
9=x
answer is 9 cups of water
Similar steps:
1. You need to draw a reference line first( It's trivial but hey, it's similar)
2. You need to draw the other line with pre-defined slope( parallel with same slope, perpendicular with the product of the slope to be -1)
