That would be 1/5 in simplest form you can divide both numbers by 12 and when you do you get 1/5. Hope this helps!

Hello there!

"Compare the fraction 3/5 to 1/2 and then compare 2/6 to 1/2. Use symbols in your answer"

To make this easier, we will make it so that both fractions in each pair has like bases.

To make 3/5 and 1/2 have a like base, we must make the denominators 10. To do this, we will do the following:

(3*2)/(5*2) = 6/10

(1*5)/(2*5) = 5/10

Now we can easily compare and not worry about the denominator

So, let's just look at the numerators.

Which is greater, 5 or 6? We know 6 is greater, so:

6/10 > 5/10

That means:

3/5 > 1/2

Now, we must do the same for 2/6 and 1/2

We will make them both 6. So, we can leave 2/6 alone

2/6

(1*3)/(2*3) = 3/6

Now we have 2/6 and 3/6

Which is greater, 3 or 2. The answer to that is 2. So:

3/6 > 2/6

This means that 1/2 > 2/6

Our answers are:

1. 3/6 > 2/6

2. 1/2 > 2/6

I hope I was able to help you!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For a triangle the area is

$A=\frac{1}{2}bh$

If our triangle is isosceles and the 2 congruent sides each measure 4 and they include an angle of 40 degrees, let's say that the vertex angle is 40 and the sides that are not the base each measure 4. If we drop an altitude from the vertex to the base, we cut the triangle into 2 right triangles, with the vertex angle being 20 degrees and the hypotenuse being 4. To find the base, then, which is opposite the angle, we use the sin ratio:

$sin(20)=\frac{b}{4}$ and
