c. Find x using the ratios of the sides 6cm and 8cm. Show your work.
Im having trouble solving this problem, mostly because im not sure what function to use. If i could get some help on this it would be appreciated.
if this is a triangle then do this =
x/100 and 6/8 then cross multiply =
8x=600 Then divide both sides by 8 =
x=75
To find the value of x using the ratios of the sides 6cm and 8cm, we can use the concept of proportions.
Let's set up the proportion using the given information:
x / 8 = 6 / 8
Now, we can cross-multiply:
8x = 6 * 8
Simplifying the equation:
8x = 48
To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 8:
x = 48 / 8
x = 6
Therefore, using the ratios of the sides 6cm and 8cm, we find that x is equal to 6cm.
