Objectives Write and simplify ratios.
Use proportions to solve problems.
3
A ratio compares two numbers by division
A ratio compares two numbers by division. The ratio of two numbers a and b can be written as a to b, a:b, or , where b ≠ 0. For example, the ratios 1 to 2, 1:2, and all represent the same comparison. In a ratio, the denominator of the fraction cannot be zero because division by zero is undefined. Remember!
4
A ratio can involve more than two numbers
A ratio can involve more than two numbers. For the rectangle, the ratio of the side lengths may be written as 3:7:3:7.
5
Example 2: Using Ratios The ratio of the side lengths of a triangle is 4:7:5, and its perimeter is 96 cm. What is the length of the shortest side? Let the side lengths be 4x, 7x, and 5x. Then 4x + 7x + 5x = 96 . After like terms are combined, 16x = 96. So x = 6. The length of the shortest side is 4x = 4(6) = 24 cm.

Check It Out! Example 2 The ratio of the angle measures in a triangle is 1:6:13. What is the measure of each angle? x + y + z = 180° x + 6x + 13x = 180° 20x = 180° x = 9° y = 6x z = 13x y = 6(9°) z = 13(9°) y = 54° z = 117°

A proportion is an equation stating that two ratios
are equal. In the proportion , the values a and d are the extremes. The values b and c are the means. When the proportion is written as a:b = c:d, the extremes are in the first and last positions. The means are in the two middle positions.
8
In Algebra 1 you learned the Cross Products Property
In Algebra 1 you learned the Cross Products Property. The product of the extremes ad and the product of the means bc are called the cross products. The Cross Products Property can also be stated as, “In a proportion, the product of the extremes is equal to the product of the means.” Reading Math

The following table shows equivalent forms of the Cross Products Property.

A similarity ratio is the ratio of the lengths of
the corresponding sides of two similar polygons. The similarity ratio of ∆ABC to ∆DEF is , or . The similarity ratio of ∆DEF to ∆ABC is , or 2.
