P and q are two numbers such that p > q When you subtract 5 from p and subtract 5 from q the answers are in the ratio 5:1
When you add 20 to p and add 20 to q the answers are in the ratio 5 : 2
Find the ratio p:a
Give your answer in its simplest form.

56.6

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of the perimeters is equal to the scale.

the ratio of the areas is equal to the square of the scale.

34 / 20 = k

a / 19.6 = k²

substituting:

a / 19.6 = (34 / 20)²

a = 19.6 (34 / 20)²

a ≈ 56.6

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.
