16. what are the values of a and b?

  a = 20; b = 2√101

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle at upper left and the one at lower right are similar. Ratios of corresponding sides are equal, so ...

  200/a = a/2

  400 = a^2

  √400 = 20 = a

Then, by the Pythagorean theorem, the value of b can be found:

  b = √(a^2 + 2^2) = √(400 +4) = √4·√101

  b = 2√101

its 69.420

step-by-step explanation:

3/4 ÷ 3/4

step-by-step explanation:

basically divide any proper fraction with itself to fit the criteria.

so if we are using 3/4, then:

3/4 ÷ 3/4 = 1

so 1 is the quotient.

and the numerators for both these fractions is 3.   and if we divide the numerators:

3 ÷ 3 = 1

we see that quotient is equal to our original quotient as well.
