Im hoping you just want an example so here you go

whole number: 16
fraction version of 16: 16/1

to subtract fractions you have to have a common denominator.

so if i had a problem like     6 -1/3
step 1 would be to turn 6 into a fraction: 6/1
step 2 is to find the common denominator:
6/1 -1/3, in this case it is 3, so you multuply the first term by 3
you would then get     18/3 - 1/3,  now all you do if subract numerators, 18-3=15

final answer would be 15/3, you can simplify it into 5/1 which is also 5

Answer:

  120 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

If you divide the isosceles triangle into two right triangles, each has a leg and hypotenuse of 8 and 17, respectively. You may recognize these numbers as part of the Pythagorean triple (8, 15, 17). That recognition tells you the triangle's height is 15 m, so its area is ...

  A = 1/2bh

  A = 1/2(16 m)(15 m) = 120 m² . . . . triangle area

__

<em>Alternate solutions</em>

Given the three sides, you can find the smallest angle from the Law of Cosines. It will be ...

  α = arccos((17² +17² -16²)/(2·17·17)) ≈ 56.144°

Then the area is ...

  A = 1/2·ab·sin(C) . . . for triangle with sides a, b, c and opposite angles A, B, C

  A = 1/2sin(α)·17·17 = 120 . . . m²

__

Using Heron's formula:

  s = (17 +17 +16)/2 = 25

  A = √(25(25 -17)(25 -17)(25 -16)) = 5×8×3 = 120 . . . m²

__

If you need to, you can compute the triangle's height from the Pythagorean theorem.

  a² +b² = c² . . . . generic Pythagorean theorem equation

  8² + h² = 17² . . . with relevant values filled in

  h² = 289 -64 = 225

  h = √225 = 15
