Question

Answer 17

let length of hypotenuse is h
let length of longer side is a
let length of shorter side is b
(3/5)h=(1/2)a
so
h=(5/6)a
now ratio of h/b is
=(5/6)a/b

Answer 18

oops i made a mistake!

Answer 19

let length of hypotenuse is h
let length of longer side is a
let length of shorter side is b
(1/2)h=(3/5)a
so
h=(6/5)a
now ratio of h/b is
=(6/5)a/b
