This is not a true statement, because -24 is not greater than -10. -24 may look like a bigger number, but this means 24 below 0 and -10 is only 10 below 0.
First off, in order to solve this, notice that it the "alligator" is pointed to the right. The equation is basically asking if -10 is less that 4 x -6.
4 x -6 = -24
If you think about it, -10 is more than -24, because it is closer to 0 on a number line than -24.
Area of any triangle could be always calculated as base length multiplied by the height perpendicular to the aforementioned base divided by 2. Therefore:
