Ratio + right triangle - math problems

On solving problems and tasks with proportionally, we recommend hint rule of three. Rule of three (proportionality) help solve examples of direct and inverse proportionality. Three members make possible to calculate the fourth - unknown member.

  11. Cube cut
    cut_cube In the ABCDA'B'C'D'cube, it is guided by the edge of the CC' a plane witch dividing the cube into two perpendicular four-sided and triangular prisms, whose volumes are 3:2. Determine in which ratio the edge AB is divided by this plane.
  12. Rectangular garden
    garden_21 The sides of the rectangular garden are in ratio 1: 2. The diagonal has a length of 20 meters. Calculate the area and perimeter of the garden.
  13. The perimeter
    hexagon6 The perimeter of equilateral △PQR is 12. The perimeter of regular hexagon STUVWX is also 12. What is the ratio of the area of △PQR to the area of STUVWX?
  14. Ratio of edges
    diagonal_2 The dimensions of the cuboid are in a ratio 3: 1: 2. The body diagonal has a length of 28 cm. Find the volume of a cuboid.
  15. Isosceles triangle
    pomer_triangle The perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 112 cm. The length of the arm to the length of the base is at ratio 5:6. Find the triangle area.
  16. Isosceles trapezoid
    lichobeznik_5 Calculate the content of an isosceles trapezoid whose bases are at ratio 5:3, the arm is 6cm long and it is 4cm high.
  17. Rectangle 35
    rectangles_13 Find the area of a rectangle when the diagonal is equal to 30 cms and the width is double the length.
  18. Display case
    vitrinka Place a glass shelf at the height of 1m from the bottom of the display case in the cabinet. How long platter will we place at this height? The display case is a rectangular triangle with 2 m and 2.5 m legs.
