Question

The ratio of a triangle's sides is 4:3:6. If the length of the hypotenuse is 1/4, what is the value of the length of the short leg of the triangle subtracted from the length of the long leg of the triangle? Help please?

Answer 1

since 1/4 = 6/24, use that ratio for all the numbers. Then you have

1/6 : 1/8 : 1/4

1/6 - 1/8 = 1/24

Or, 4-3 = 1
Now scale that and you get 1/24
