That's the description of a fraction when the numerator and denominator

Lowest terms basically means that the fraction/ mixed number is in simplest form. Which means it can't be divided by anything to get a lower number for both the numerator and denominator because they don't have anymore factors that they share. For example, if I wanted to simplify the fraction, 4/8. I would divide by 4 on both the top and bottom since that is their greatest common factor.
4 ➗ 4=1
8 ➗4=2
1/2 would be the "lowest terms" of 4/8 since 1 and 2 don't have any common factors except 1.

Determine the value of x for the following isosceles triangle.

andrew11 [14]

Given :

▪︎This triangle is an isosceles triangle.

▪︎Measure of one of its legs = 6 inches

▪︎Measure of its equivalent leg $= \tt \frac{x}{9}$ inches

▪︎Measure of its base $= \tt \frac{5}{2}$ inches

Which means :

$=\tt 6 = \frac{x}{9}$

$=\tt \frac{6}{1} = \frac{x}{9}$

$=\tt 6 \times 9 = x \times 1$

$\hookrightarrow\color{plum}\tt 54 = x$

Let us check whether or not we have found out the correct value of x by placing 54 in the place of x :

$=\tt 6 = \frac{54}{9}$

$= \tt6 = 6$

Since the Left Hand Side of the equation is equivalent to the Right Hand Side of the equation, we can conclude that we have found out the correct value of x.

▪︎Therefore, the value of <u>x = 54</u>
