Solve the proportion. a. 4/x = 9 b. 7.5/26 = 75/p

ANSWER:

The values of x and p after solving given equations are 0.445 or and 260 respectively..

SOLUTION:

Given, two proportions are =9 and

We need to solve the given two proportions.

Let us solve the first proportion, = 9

On cross-multiplication, we get

4 1 = 9x

4 = 9x

x =

x = 0.445

Now, let us solve the second proportion  

On cross-multiplication, we get

p = 260

Hence, the values of x and p after solving given equations are 0.445 and 260 respectively.

to find the perimeter, you add up all the lengths of the sides. in this case you would have to add up 18+22+40+80 which equals 160.
