Question

write the ratios of the short side to the long side 4

Explanation:

Step1: Identify short and long sides of first triangle

In $\triangle ABC$, short - side is 6, long - side is 9.

Step2: Calculate ratio for first triangle

Ratio is $\frac{6}{9}=\frac{2}{3}$.

Step3: Identify short and long sides of second triangle

In $\triangle DEF$, short - side is 12, long - side is 16.

Step4: Calculate ratio for second triangle

Ratio is $\frac{12}{16}=\frac{3}{4}$.

Answer:

For $\triangle ABC$, the ratio of short - side to long - side is $\frac{2}{3}$; for $\triangle DEF$, the ratio of short - side to long - side is $\frac{3}{4}$
