PART A)find x using the ratio of the sides 12 cm and 16 cm: x/20=12/16. Show your work

PART B) find x using the ratio of the sides 6 cm and 8 cm. Show your work

PART C) Explain why the answers to a and b should be the same

Respuesta :

a. Using the ratio of the sides 12 cm and 16 cm

x/20 = 12/16

x = (12(20)) / 16 = 15

b. Using the ratio of the sides 6 cm and 8 cm

x/20 = 6/8

x = (6(20)) / 8 = 15

c. The answer is the same since the ratio 12/16 and 6/8 is both equal to ¾.

 
Hope this answer will be a good help for you.
