Chapter 8.4, Problem 10PSA

To determine

To find the ratio of two sides.

Answer to Problem 10PSA

  $Theratiois3/4.$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Two kites have perimeters of 21 and 28.

Formula used:

The below property are used:

Corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional.

Calculation:

Perimeter is sum of all sides. A kite has four sides. The ratio of two sides of the kite will also vary corresponding to overall ratio.

Corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional.

  $\begin{array}{l}\frac{\text{x}}{\text{y}}\text{ = }\frac{21}{28}\\ \frac{\text{x}}{\text{y}}\text{= }\frac{3}{4}\end{array}$

Here, x and y are sides.
