@lyssfountain plug the proportions in like a fraction. Show us what you got:)

Answer 11

What @YanaSidlinskiy ? Math clearly isn't my best subject, I literally have no clue how to do that

Answer 12

Ok. I'll show you:) Just give me a sec:)

Answer 13

\[\frac{ 20 }{ 12 } = \frac{ 40 }{ 30 }\]
Cross multiply. What do you get?

Answer 14

uh i got 20x30+12x40, that doesn't sound right

Answer 15

What is
20*30?
12*40?

Answer 16

This is how you find if the sides are proportional or not. What's confusing you?

Answer 17

sorry i meant 20x30=12x40 but 20x30=600 and 12x40=480

Answer 18

Since those #'s don't match, your sides are NOT proportional:)
