△HKO∼△FGO Two right triangles. The first triangle is labeled triangle HKO. Angle H is the right angle. Side KO which is the hypo
tenuse has a length of 10 units. The other right triangle is labeled triangle FGO. In this triangle, angle F is the right angle and side GO is the hypotenuse with a length of 15 units. The triangles meet at angle O forming a vertical angle. Angles H and F are both right angles. Points H comma O comma and G are on the same line. Points F comma O comma and K are on the same line. What is the ratio of the area of △HKO to the area of △FGO ? Express your answer as a fraction. Enter your answer in the box.
He made his mistake in Step 2. Tom should have subtracted 4/8 instead of 1/8. The mistake is that he was not consistent when he multiplied Denominators (bottom number) must be the same when handling fractions so Tom must multiply both the numerator and denominator by the SAME number to balance it out. 1/2 x 4/4= 4/8. Subtract. 7/8 - 4/8= 3/8. Tom has 3/8 of a gallon of paint leftover.
