This problem can be solved using Pythagoras Theorem equation: A² + B²= C² (see diagram for explanation)
Substitute the numbers given in the question into this equatio...

ratios are just fractions not written in fraction form, for example 8:9 ratio just means the first value is 8/(8+9) and the second value is 9/(8+9)if a question says that in a ratio of green apples to red...

This equation can be solved by factorisation. Start off with brackets : (x )(x ) =0. We need two numbers that multiply to give 6 and add/subtract to give 1. Start off with 1 and 6. They multiply to give 6...

Draw out a diagram of a right angled triangle. As the lengths of the sides of the triangle are in the ratio 3:4:5, start off by saying each side is 3cm (a), 4cm (b) and 5cm (c) respectively, with 5cm bein...

We can factorise into (x-3)(x-2)=0 to get x=3 and x=2 as solutions for this equation.
