Answer 20

so knowing the proportions small leg over big leg= small base/ big base

Answer 21

okay.

Answer 22

How would you set it up.

Answer 23

100/(100+150)=240/x
is
100/250=240/x

Answer 24

I did it wrong. Yes.

Answer 34

1/250?

Answer 35

(100/250) = 240/x
(100/250) *(240/1)= 240/x *(240/1) multiply 240 over 1 to get
1/600=1/x Just flip both sides
600=x

Answer 36

Hm...okay.

Answer 37

or copy paste
(100/250) = 240/x

into wolframalpha.com

Answer 38

okay.
