Answer:
(half * base 1 * base 2)/height
base 1 is 6 and base 2 is 9
get the height from similarity
6/9 = 8/CE
therefore CE = 72/6
The lines have equal gradients;
m

Equation of line 2;
y=mx+c
y=

x+c
-15=

+c
c=-11
y=4/5x-11
If you take 1/2 of a pizza and divide it up between 6 people, will you have more than 1 whole Pizza or less than 1 whole pizza?
If you divide up a fraction into smaller pieces it will always be less than 1 because it started out less than 1 and you're making it even smaller.
