A's cookie recipe uses 3 cups of sugar to 5 cups of butter b's cookie recipe uses 4 cups of sugar to 7 cups of butter are these ratios equivalent and how do you know?

first, you divide the triangle in two, tô form a retangle triangle. after, using pythagoream theorem:

18^2 = 14^2 + (x/2)^2

(x^2/4) + 196 = 324

x^2/4 = 324 - 196

x^2/4 = 128

x^2 = 512

x = √512

x = √2^9

x = 16√2 cm

i hope i you.

the answer is $23.63
