Answer:
The least common denominator of the fractions is 24
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The <u>least common denominator</u> (LCD) is the smallest number that can be a common denominator for a set of fractions
so
we have
7/8
Multiples of 8 -------> 8,16,24,32,...
5/6
Multiples of 6 -------> 6,12,18,24,...
24 is a common multiple of 6 and 8. It is their lowest common multiple
<em>Alternative Method</em>
we have
The least common multiple are those common and non-common numbers with the greatest exponent
so
Consider the attached figure. If AB has length 1, then BC has length sin(15°) and CD (the altitude of triangle ABC) has length sin(15°)·cos(15°).
By the double angle formula for sin(α), ...
... sin(2α) = 2sin(α)cos(α)
Rearranging, this gives
... sin(α)·cos(α) = sin(2α)/2
We have
... CD = sin(15°)·cos(15°) = sin(2·15°)/2
... CD = sin(30°)/2 = (1/2)/2 = 1/4
That is, the altitude, CD, is 1/4 the hypotenuse, AB, of triangle ABC.
