Answer:

Use Pythagorean theorm.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 (c is hypotenuse).

Let c = 5+b (because in the question it says the hypotenuse is one leg plus 5 more meters) ; we will solve for b and say it's the leg we don't know.

We will say A is the "other leg" we know, which is 6.

6^2 + b^2 = (5+b)^2

We get b = 1.1

TEA [102]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

We can test each pair making each ratio into its simplest form.

For A 2/3 is already in its simplest form and 9/15=3/5. they are not equivalent.

For B, 5/8 is already in its simplest form and 15/21=5/7. they are not equivalent.

For C, 3/12=1/4, and 6/18=1/3. They are not equivalent.

For D, 4/10=2/5, and 12/30=2/5. They are equivalent.
