1. Find the ratio of the width to the length of the rectangle. Then simplify the ratio.
An equation that states two ratios are equal Cross multiply! ad = bc
3. Solve the proportion. 4x = 36 4 4 x = 9
3. Solve the proportion. y = 9
3. Solve the proportion. 4(x + 2) = 20 4x + 8 = 20 4x = 12 x = 3
3. Solve the proportion. 3(x + 8) = 6x 3x + 24 = 6x 24 = 3x 8 = x
3. Solve the proportion. 24(x – 12) = 8x 24x – 288 = 8x –288 = –16x 18 = x
3. Solve the proportion. 4(y + 1) = 2(y + 4) 4y + 4 = 2y + 8 2y + 4 = 8 2y = 4 y = 2
4. The ratio of two side lengths for the triangle is given. Solve for the variable. AC:AB is 2:3. 3x = 24 3 3 x = 8
4. The ratio of two side lengths for the triangle is given. Solve for the variable. AB:CB is 2:1. 16x = 48 16 16 x = 3
4. The ratio of two side lengths for the triangle is given. Solve for the variable. AC:BC is 7:4. 7(2x + 4) = 84 14x + 28 = 84 14x = 56 x = 4
