Answer:
x ≈ 3.1 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The segment from the centre to the chord is a perpendicular bisector, thus
The triangle is right with base = 
x
Applying Pythagoras' identity to the right triangle, then
( x )² + 1.4² = 2.1²
x² + 1.96 = 4.41 ( subtract 1.96 from both sides )
x² = 2.45 ( multiply both sides by 4 )
x² = 9.8 ( take the square root of both sides )
x = 
≈ 3.1 ft ( to the nearest tenth )
These ratios are not proportional.
Explanation:
If the ratio 8:32 were simplified, it would equal 1:4 because they can both be divided by 8. But since 16 x 4 does not equal 72, they cannot be divided by 4 to make a simplified ratio such as the first example.
Hope I helped, and good luck!
Ok. so, you have a fraction. lets say it is, 5/20. and the other, is. 2/5. flip the first one, and multiply. so your answer would be, 25/40. hope this helps.
EQUIVALENT WOULD BE THE ANSWER
If I'm not mistaken, x=1 2/3 or 1.66
