Write a fraction setting the vertical length of the larger triangle over its horizontal length. What does this fraction represent?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]Ratio = \frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment

Required

Vertical length / Horizontal length

From the attachment, we have:

[tex]y = 4\ units[/tex] --- the vertical length of the larger triangle

and

[tex]x = 6\ units[/tex] --- the horizontal length of the larger triangle

So, the ratio is:

[tex]Ratio = \frac{y}{x}[/tex]

[tex]Ratio = \frac{4\ units}{6\ units}[/tex]

[tex]Ratio = \frac{4}{6}[/tex]

Divide by 2

[tex]Ratio = \frac{2}{3}[/tex]
