TEXT BOOK/GEOMETRY: Patterns and Practicalities PP 228-244 Ratio and Proportion A: B

This document discusses ratios, proportions, and geometric means. It defines a ratio as the quotient of two numbers written as a:b or b/a. A proportion is a statement of equality between two ratios, with the first and fourth terms being the extremes and the second and third being the means. Properties of proportions include: the product of the means equals the product of the extremes; means and extremes can be interchanged; reciprocals are equal; and adding corresponding numerators and denominators produces an equivalent ratio. Examples are provided to illustrate these properties and finding geometric means.

The equalit% of two ratios is a proportion. A proportion has four terms. The first and the fourth terms are called
extremes and the second and third terms are the means.
