Question

In this question , all lengths are in centimetres. AB= 3x-4,AC=2x+12,BC=7x-2.given AB:AC=1:2 show that AC:BC=2:3

Answer 1

c on edg...

Explanation:

Answer 2

AX : XB as AB : AC

AX = 5

XB = 4

AC = 6

AB = x

Explanation:

5 : 4 as to x : 6

ratios can also be written as fractions...

5/4 = x/6 ..now we have a proportion...so we cross multiply

(4)(x) = (5)(6)

4x = 30

x = 30/4

x = 15/2 <==== AB = 15/2
