Asked by Shawn H.


If the ratio of a to b is equal to the ratio of b to a, what can you say about the two numbers a and b? Are they the same or different? What are some some examples of this?
Answered by drwls
If b/a = a/b, then a^2 = b^2
a = +b or -b
Answered by Suzy Q
In this case, the numbers are the same right?
I am going to work on some more examples of this.
Thanks.

No. That a = b is not the 0NLY answer. They can differ in sign. Read my previous post again
