Yes rational expression and its simplified forms are equivalent.

Rational expression are those that contain fractions.

Example:
25/50 is a rational expression but it is not yet in its simplest form.

25/50 ⇒ 5/10 ⇒ 1/2

1/2 is the simplest form of 25/50.

They are equivalent:

1/2 = 25/50
1*50 = 2*25
50 = 50

or
1/2 = 0.50
25/50 = 0.50

Is the area of ABC round to the nearest tenth

svlad2 [7]

Hi there!

Since we know that this is a right isosceles triangle, we can use the 45-45-90 relationship to figure out the missing side lengths. Using this relationship, we know that the two marked sides are both equal to 5 inches. Next, we need to use the formula to find the area of a triangle, which is A = 1/2(b * h). We know that the base of this triangle is 5, as is the height. All we need to do is plug in the numbers and solve: A = 1/2(5 * 5) | A = 1/2(25) | A = 12.5 inches^2.

Hope this helps!! :)
