what is the ratio of 2 segments where the length of one is 8cm while that of the other is 4ocm?
Study the last problem that we discussed.
1:5 is it right miss sue?
To find the ratio of two segments, you need to compare the lengths of the segments. In this case, one segment is 8 cm long and the other segment is 40 cm long.
To find the ratio between these two segments, divide the length of the first segment by the length of the second segment:
Ratio = Length of first segment / Length of second segment
= 8 cm / 40 cm
Simplifying the above fraction gives:
Ratio = 1/5
Therefore, the ratio of the two segments is 1:5.
