The ratio of two similar triangles is 4/5. If a side in the larger triangle is 62, what is the length of the corresponding side in the smaller triangle?
[tex]let \: the \: corresponding \: side \: of \: smaller \: triangl e \: be \: of \: length \: x \\ 4 \ratio5 = x \ratio62 \\ \frac{4}{5} = \frac{x}{62} \\ x = 62 \times \frac{4}{5} \\ x = 49.6[/tex]
