Think: You're treating the numerator and the denom. in precisely the same way. In doing so you are NOT changing the value of the fraction, only the appearance.
Example: start with 2/3. Mult num. and den. both by 7: 14/21.
2/3 and 14/21 result in precisely the same decimal fraction, showing that the latter set of fractions is equivalent to the former set.
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the pythagorean theorem
a² + b² = c²
a² + 63² = 65²
a² + 3969 = 4225
a² = 256
a = 16
x = 16 meters
