Question

Help again with ratio please!

Answer 1

This one is different then the rest and my preview packet doesn't give any explanations on it.

Answer 2

But I want to know how it works...

Answer 3

yeah it is different

Answer 4

the area goes with the square

Answer 5

so you have
\[\frac{\sqrt{18}}{\sqrt{50}}\] which we need to simplify

Answer 6

I always have trouble with simplifying square roots like that.

Answer 7

\[\sqrt{18}=\sqrt{9\times 2}=\sqrt9\times \sqrt2=3\sqrt2\] see if you can do something similar with the denominator

Answer 8

or use simpler method
\[\frac{\sqrt{18}}{\sqrt{50}}=\sqrt{\frac{18}{50}}=\sqrt{\frac{9}{25}}\]

Answer 9

then it is real easy since you know the square root of 9 and also the square root of 25

Answer 10

Yeah 3 and 5.

Answer 11

so your ratio is \(3:5\)

Answer 12

Right okay. Thank you. That makes sense ;)
