Say the base length is 8, and the height is 8. If you multiply it by 1/4, the new base length is 2. The formula for the area of a triangle is: A=1/2bh you take 1/2 of 2, which is 1, and you multiply by the height (8) to get 8 square units for the area. This is opposed to if you simply did the formula without multiplying by 1/4. If you avoided multiplying by 1/4, you would get A=(4)(8), which would get you 32 square inches for the area. So, in conclusion, multiplying the base by 1/4, gets you 1/4 the area.

Find an odd natural numbers x such that LCM (x, 40) = 1400

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Let x be odd such that LCM {x,40} = 1400 .

Since 1400 = 23×52×7 , then

x ∈ {5m×7n∣(m,n) ∈ {0,1,2}×{0,1}} .

By testing these values, we find that x = 175 .
