a
Answer to Problem 10PSA
The ratio is 1: 1
Explanation of Solution
Given information:The following diagram is given
Formula used AAA similarity criterion
Calculation:
Therefore,
AB = BC
Therefore, the ratio of AB and BC will be
b
To calculate:The ratio of line AB and AC.
b
Answer to Problem 10PSA
The ratio is 1: 2
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Formula used Midpoint of line segment divides it in two equal parts
Calculation Let us assume that
AB = x units, then
AC = AB + BC = 2x units
Hence ratio of AB and AC will be
