Rational numbers are numbers that can be written as the fraction of two integers. To multiply rational numbers together, simply the problem, then you multiply the tops and the bottoms separately to get your answer.
3(1+2)
3+6
9 ( the answer is nine)
first you divide six and two then use the distributive property to multiply three and one and three and two, then add three and six to get nine.
1) Formula: area = height * base / 2
2) Call x the height:
height = x
base = 2x
3) State the equation:
(x)(2x) = 49 in^2
4) Solve the equation:
2x^2 = 49 in^s
x^2 = (49/2) in^2
x = √(49/2) in
x = 7√2 / 2 in = 3.5 √2 in
5) Solution:
height = 3.5 √2 in and base = 7√2 in
6) Verification: area = (7√2 in) (3.5√2 in) = 49 in^2
Answer: height = 3.5√2 in and base = 7√2 in.
