Question

Consider these triangles

Answer 1

its a zen thing :)

Answer 2

what do you want to do which 2 this triangle

Answer 3

Find side MF and RS?

Answer 4

yea but the answer has ratio for both of them

Answer 5

Ok, I find answer for you

Answer 6

ratio = 5/15
= 1/3
MF = 13^2 -5^2= 12
RS = 39^2 - 15^2 = 36
check ratio = 12/36 = 1/3

Answer 7

more detail;
ratio = LM/HR = 5/15 = 1/3

Answer 8

so the answer are 5/15 and 1/3 right?

Answer 9

a.Find the ratio of the perimeter of triangle RSH to the perimeter of triangle MFL.

Answer 10

b. Find the ratio of the area of RSH to the area of triangle MFL

Answer 11

\[MF=\sqrt{13^{2}-5^{2}}=12\]
correcting Nancy Lam just so you understand.

Answer 12

\[\sqrt{169-25}=\sqrt{144}=12\]

Answer 13

ok then what next..

Answer 14

I was just showing how the 12 was obtained.
What is the rest of the problem, do you have to find RS?

Answer 15

yes

Answer 16

Since the ratio is 1 to 3, then MF being 12 means RS is 3 times 12 or 36.

Answer 17

1/3=12/x
x=3*12=36

Answer 18

The ratio of the perimeters is also 1 to 3
The ratio of the areas is 1 to 9

Answer 19

A=1/2 b h
A=1/2 12 5=30 for smaller triangle
A=1/2 36 15= 270 for the larger
their ratio 30/270

Answer 20

or reducing 1 to 9

Answer 21

so what the answer of both a and b?

Answer 22

I don't get it?

Answer 23

Review the above. Review the meaning of "ratio" and proportion.
The method of solution have been presented to you, yet you do not understand or "don't get it" Review the triangle geometry. Good luck, and study and practice.
