Question 5:
In diagram below, ABC is a triangle.

The sides of the triangle are in the ratio AB : BC: CA = 4 : 7 : 6.
Find the difference in length, in cm, between AB and CA.

Solution:
$\begin{array}{l}AB:BC:CA=4:7:6\\ BC=35cm\\ \\ \frac{AB}{BC}=\frac{4}{7}\\ \frac{AB}{35}=\frac{4}{7}\\ AB=\frac{4}{7}×35\\ \text{}=20cm\\ \frac{CA}{35}=\frac{6}{7}\\ CA=\frac{6}{7}×35\\ \text{}=30cm\end{array}$

Difference in length between AB and CA
= 30 – 20
= 10 cm
