By mistake?
wait, didn't we just see this?
oops that last one wasn't oight what i put anyways, lol
@doulikepiecauseidont what was the correct answer for the last one
just divide the shortest by the longest?
shortest side here is 4.8 and the longest side is 13.6 Simplify now : 4.8/13.6
divide?
\(\cfrac{\textbf{Shortest Side}}{\textbf{Longest Side}} = \cfrac{4.8}{13.6}\) The given triangle seems to be a right angled triangle. So in the cases of right angled triangle : Shortest side is always the perpendicular and the longest side is the hypotenuse.
i got 0.3529411....
That's right. Round it off..
it has to be a fraction
Note that, you have to simplify it as a fraction. So don't convert it to decimals.
how would i convert it
You have : \(\cfrac{\bf{4.8}}{\bf{13.6}}\) = \(\cfrac{\bf{48}}{\bf{136}} \)
Now find the common factor 48 and 136..
4
12 and 34
6 and 17 is next
12 is not the factor of 136 .
i said 4
You have to find common factors diva. 2 is one of the common factors. \(\cfrac{\cancel{48}^{24}}{\cancel{136}^{68}}\) \(\cfrac{24}{68} = \cfrac{\cancel{24}^{12}}{\cancel{68}^{34}}\) \(\cfrac{12}{34} = \cfrac{\cancel{12}^6}{\cancel{34}^{17}}\) So your answer is 6/17
