Math Example--Ratios, Proportions, and Percents--Solving Proportions: Example 34	Math Example--Ratios, Proportions, and Percents--Solving Proportions: Example 34 Topic Ratios, Proportions, and Percents Description This example illustrates how to determine if two rectangles are similar using proportions with algebraic expressions. Two rectangles are shown, with the first having dimensions 11.5 and 23, and the second having dimensions 23x and 46x. The problem requires setting up a proportion to check for similarity: 11.5 / 23 = 23x / 46x. After simplifying, the ratios are equal, confirming that the rectangles are indeed similar for any value of x.	Proportions
Math Example--Ratios, Proportions, and Percents--Solving Proportions: Example 35	Math Example--Ratios, Proportions, and Percents--Solving Proportions: Example 35 Topic Ratios, Proportions, and Percents Description This example demonstrates how to determine if two parallelograms are similar using proportions. Two parallelograms are shown, with the first having dimensions 6 and 9, and the second having dimensions 15 and 22.5. The problem requires setting up a proportion to check for similarity: 6 / 9 = 15 / 22.5. After simplifying, the ratios are equal, confirming that the parallelograms are indeed similar.	Proportions
Math Example--Ratios, Proportions, and Percents--Solving Proportions: Example 36	Math Example--Ratios, Proportions, and Percents--Solving Proportions: Example 36 Topic Ratios, Proportions, and Percents Description This example demonstrates how to determine if two parallelograms are not similar using proportions. Two parallelograms are shown, with the first having dimensions 9 and 28, and the second having dimensions 18 and 54. The problem requires setting up a proportion to check for similarity: 9 / 18 ≠ 28 / 54. After simplifying, the ratios are not equal, concluding that the parallelograms are not similar.	Proportions
Math Example--Ratios, Proportions, and Percents--Solving Proportions: Example 37	Math Example--Ratios, Proportions, and Percents--Solving Proportions: Example 37 Topic Ratios, Proportions, and Percents Description This example illustrates solving a proportion problem using similar triangles with algebraic expressions. Two triangles are shown, one with side lengths 9 and 18, and the other with expressions 6x and 10x + 6. The problem requires setting up a proportion to determine the value of x for which the triangles are similar: 9 / 18 = 6x / (10x + 6). Solving this equation leads to x = 3.	Proportions
Math Example--Ratios, Proportions, and Percents--Solving Proportions: Example 38	Math Example--Ratios, Proportions, and Percents--Solving Proportions: Example 38 Topic Ratios, Proportions, and Percents Description This example demonstrates solving a proportion problem using similar right triangles with algebraic expressions. Two right triangles are shown, one with side lengths 4 and 3, and the other with expressions 3x and 2x + 1. The problem requires setting up a proportion to determine the value of x for which the triangles are similar: 4 / 3 = 3x / (2x + 1). Solving this equation leads to x = 4.	Proportions
Math Example--Ratios, Proportions, and Percents--Solving Proportions: Example 39	Math Example--Ratios, Proportions, and Percents--Solving Proportions: Example 39 Topic Ratios, Proportions, and Percents Description This example illustrates solving a proportion problem using similar rectangles with an unknown side length. Two rectangles are shown, one with side lengths of 4 and x, and the other with side lengths of 15 and 4. The problem requires setting up a proportion to determine the value of x for which the rectangles are similar: 4 / 15 = x / 4. Solving this equation leads to x = 16/15.	Proportions
Math Example--Ratios, Proportions, and Percents--Solving Proportions: Example 4	Math Example--Ratios, Proportions, and Percents--Solving Proportions: Example 4 Topic Ratios, Proportions, and Percents Description This example illustrates solving for b in a proportion where a is expressed as x + 2, and c and d are given constants (c = 5, d = 2). We set up the equation (x + 2) / b = 5 / 2 and solve for b, resulting in the expression b = (2(x + 2)) / 5. This problem demonstrates how to handle algebraic expressions in proportions.	Proportions
Math Example--Ratios, Proportions, and Percents--Solving Proportions: Example 40	Math Example--Ratios, Proportions, and Percents--Solving Proportions: Example 40 Topic Ratios, Proportions, and Percents Description This example demonstrates solving a proportion problem using similar parallelograms with algebraic expressions. Two parallelograms are shown, one with side lengths of 6 and x, and the other with expressions of 3x + 2 and 22. The problem requires setting up a proportion to determine the value of x for which the parallelograms are similar: 6 / 22 = x / (3x + 2). Solving this equation leads to x = 3.	Proportions
Math Example--Ratios, Proportions, and Percents--Solving Proportions: Example 5	Math Example--Ratios, Proportions, and Percents--Solving Proportions: Example 5 Topic Ratios, Proportions, and Percents Description This example demonstrates solving for c in a proportion where a = 9, b = 4, and d = 12. We set up the proportion 9 / 4 = c / 12 and solve for c, resulting in c = 27. This problem shows how to find an unknown value in the numerator of a proportion.	Proportions
Math Example--Ratios, Proportions, and Percents--Solving Proportions: Example 6	Math Example--Ratios, Proportions, and Percents--Solving Proportions: Example 6 Topic Ratios, Proportions, and Percents Description This example illustrates solving for c in a proportion where a = 8, b = 3, and d is expressed as x + 3. We set up the equation 8 / 3 = c / (x + 3) and solve for c, resulting in the expression c = (8(x + 3)) / 3. This problem demonstrates how to handle algebraic expressions in the denominator of a proportion.	Proportions
Math Example--Ratios, Proportions, and Percents--Solving Proportions: Example 7	Math Example--Ratios, Proportions, and Percents--Solving Proportions: Example 7 Topic Ratios, Proportions, and Percents Description This example demonstrates solving for d in a proportion where a = 12, b = 5, and c = 48. We set up the proportion 12 / 5 = 48 / d and solve for d, resulting in d = 20. This problem shows how to find an unknown value in the denominator of a proportion when all other values are known.	Proportions
Math Example--Ratios, Proportions, and Percents--Solving Proportions: Example 8	Math Example--Ratios, Proportions, and Percents--Solving Proportions: Example 8 Topic Ratios, Proportions, and Percents Description This example illustrates solving for d in a proportion where a = 11, b = 5, and c is expressed as x - 4. We set up the equation 11 / 5 = (x - 4) / d and solve for d, resulting in the expression d = (5(x - 4)) / 11. This problem demonstrates how to handle algebraic expressions in the numerator of a proportion.	Proportions
Math Example--Ratios, Proportions, and Percents--Solving Proportions: Example 9	Math Example--Ratios, Proportions, and Percents--Solving Proportions: Example 9 Topic Ratios, Proportions, and Percents Description This example demonstrates solving a proportion problem using similar triangles. Two triangles are shown, with one having sides of 3 and 4, and the other having sides of 6 and x. The problem requires finding the length of side x by setting up a proportion based on the similar triangles: 3 / 4 = 6 / x. Solving this equation leads to x = 8.	Proportions
