First we must find the distance between the mall and the house. The figure formed is a right triangle. The length of the side from the mall to the house forms the hypotenuse of the triangle. We can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length:
a² + b² = c²
The two legs of the triangle, a and b, are 15 and 8:
Since the ratio of red drops to yellow drops is 55:88 and you have 1515 red drops, the yellow drops needed is given as If 55=1515 88=? 88/55*1515=2424 therefore 2424 drops of yellow will be needed to make a shade of orange
