Mathematics

Nady [450]3 years ago

Answer:D

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which answer choice is closest to 1/2, we can subtract 1/2 from each answer choice. The difference that is closest to zero will indicate the fraction that is closest to 1/2.

A) 4/7

4/7 – 1/2 = 8/14 – 7/14 = 1/14

B) 5/9

5/9 – 1/2 = 10/18 – 9/18 = 1/18

C) 6/11

6/11 – 1/2 = 12/22 – 11/22 = 1/22

D) 7/13

7/13 – 1/2 = 14/26 – 13/26 = 1/26

E) 9/16

9/16 – 1/2 = 9/16 – 8/16 = 1/16

Since 1/26 is closest to zero, 7/13 is closest to 1/2.

saul85 [17]
The way to find the area of a triangle is A=\frac{B*H}{2}
if the base is 3 feet longer then the height we can write it like this B=H+3

now we can add it to our area equation
20=\frac{H(H+3)}{2}
20=\frac{ h^{2} +3h}{2}
40=H^{2}+3H
10\frac{1}{3}=H^{2}
h=3.2ft
