How can you use mental math to determine if a ratio is simplified?

This is a very simple question; don't be intimidated. Just see if you can divide both sides of the ratio by the same number and still result in a whole number on both sides. If not, then the ratio is already simplified. It is easy to figure this out by seeing if one or more of the numbers are prime numbers. 
Example: 5:10 can be simplified further because both numbers are divisible by 5. 5/5 and 10/5 result in 1 and 2. Therefore, 5:10 can be simplified to be 1:2. However, a number like 9/11 cannot be simplified further, because 11 is a prime number.
Hope this helped you!

Suppose KLMN is a parallelogram, and that the bisectors of ∠K and ∠L meet at A. Prove that A is equidistant from LM and KN.
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

This is proved by ASA congruent rule.

 Step-by-step explanation:

Given KLMN is a parallelogram, and that the bisectors of ∠K and ∠L meet at A. we have to prove that A is equidistant from LM and KN i.e we have to prove that AP=AQ

we know that the diagonals of parallelogram bisect each other therefore the the bisectors of ∠K and ∠L must be the diagonals.

In ΔAPN and ΔAQL

∠PNA=∠ALQ    (∵alternate angles)  

AN=AL   (∵diagonals of parallelogram bisect each other)

∠PAN=∠LAQ      (∵vertically opposite angles)

∴ By ASA rule ΔAPN ≅ ΔAQL

Hence, by CPCT  i.e Corresponding parts of congruent triangles PA=AQ

Hence, A is equidistant from LM and KN.
