Stella had a piece of ribbon that was 3 1/2 yards long. She used this ribbon to make bows. Each bow was made from a piece of the ribbon that
was 3/4 yard long. This situation can be represented by the equation 3 1/2
divided by 3/4=4 2/3. Which statement best describes what the quotient 4
2/3 represents in the situation above?

Statement reason 1. δabc is similar to δced. given 2. 3. definition of slope 4. slope of slope of definition of slope 5. slope of × slope of multiplying the slopes 6. slope of × slope of substitution property of equality 7. slope of × slope of simplifying the right side the table contains the proof of the relationship between the slopes of two perpendicular lines. what is the reason for statement 2? a. parallel line segments that meet a common perpendicular line are proportional in length. b. the lengths of vertical and horizontal sides in congruent triangles are in a common ratio. c. trigonometric identities determine the lengths of the legs in a right triangle. d. corresponding side lengths in similar triangles are proportional in length.
