Square Root

What is the difference between a ratio and a proportion?

A ratio is a comparison of two quantities, while a proportion is an equality of two ratios. We write proportions to help us establish equivalent ratios and solve for unknown quantities.

How can a ratio of a to b be expressed?

The ratio of a to b can be expressed as a:b or a/b.

Why do we write proportions?

We write proportions to help us establish equivalent ratios and solve for unknown quantities.

Explain the process of calculating a percentage using the formula provided in the text.

To calculate a percentage, you divide the value by the total value, and then multiply the result by 100. The formula used to calculate percentage is: $\left(\frac{\text{value}}{\text{total value}}\right)\times 100%$.

What does 45% represent as a decimal and as a fraction?

45% is equivalent to the decimal 0.45, or the fraction $\frac{45}{100}$.

If a value is 80% of the total value, how would you calculate the value?

To calculate the value when it is 80% of the total value, you would multiply the total value by 0.80.

What is the formula for calculating the perimeter of a shape, and how can it be applied in practical situations?

The formula for calculating the perimeter of a shape is the distance around the shape. For more general shapes, the perimeter can be calculated using the integral $\int_0^L ds$, where $L$ is the length of the path and $ds$ is an infinitesimal line element. The calculated perimeter can be used to determine the length of fence required to surround a yard or garden, describe the distance a wheel/circle will roll in one revolution, or determine the amount of string wound around a spool.

What is the perimeter of a circle or an ellipse called, and how is it related to practical applications?

The perimeter of a circle or an ellipse is called its circumference. The circumference has practical applications such as determining the length of fence required to surround a yard or garden, describing the distance a wheel/circle will roll in one revolution, or determining the amount of string wound around a spool.

How can the perimeter of more general shapes be calculated, and what must be replaced by algebraic forms in order to practically calculate it?

The perimeter of more general shapes can be calculated using the integral $\int_0^L ds$, where $L$ is the length of the path and $ds$ is an infinitesimal line element. In order to practically calculate the perimeter, both $L$ and $ds$ must be replaced by algebraic forms.
