Question

Find the ratio and simplify. In this​ triangle, find the ratio of the shortest side to the longest. A triangle has three sides with lengths 15.2, 5.6, 14.1

Answer 1

well, the shortest will be 14.1 clearly, and the longest of all three is 15.2.

let's check the ratio from shortest to longest.


`\bf 14.1\implies \cfrac{141}{10}\qquad \qquad\qquad 15.2\implies \cfrac{152}{10} \\\\\\ \cfrac{shortest}{longest}\qquad 14.1:15.2\qquad \cfrac{14.1}{15.2}\implies \cfrac{\quad (141)/(10)\quad }{(152)/(10)}\implies \cfrac{141}{10}\cdot \cfrac{10}{152} \\\\\\ \cfrac{141}{152}`
