What is the relationship between the ratios? 5/8 and 8/10 drag and drop to complete the statement.
the ratios are proportional or not proportional

NOT PROPORTIONAL

Step-by-step explanation:

The given two fractions are: and .

Proportional fractions are those which have the same value when to reduced to the simplest form.

Consider two fractions and .

We say they are proportional if .

Or, if then we can say the fractions are proportional.

Here the fractions are:   and .

LHS: 5 X 10 = 50.

RHS: 8 X 8 = 64.

Clearly they are not equal. So, we can say these two fractions are not proportional.

(b) 240

step-by-step explanation:

first, we use the pythagorean formula using the given side lengths to find x. then we use x to find the side lengths. then we add the side lengths to find the perimeter.

pythagorean theorem formula:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(x - 20)^2 + (x - 40)^2 = x^2

x^2 - 40x + 400 + x^2 - 80x + 1600 = x^2

x^2 -120x + 2000 = 0

(x - 100)(x - 20) = 0

x - 100 = 0 or x - 20 = 0

x = 100 or x = 20

we see that the solution x = 20 must be discarded because it will give a negative side length and a side length of 0. the only valid solution is x = 100.

perimeter = sum of the lengths of the sides

perimeter = x + x - 20 + x - 40

perimeter = 3x - 60

replace x with 100.

perimeter = 3(100) - 60

perimeter = 300 - 60

perimeter = 240
