Step 1
Find the common denominator.
5/8 and 1/6---------> would be 2³*3----> 24

step 2
multiply (5/8) by (3/3) and (1/6) by (4/4)
5/8-----> 15/24
1/6-----> 4/24

step 3
find the numbers
4/24+15/24------> 19/24
4/24-15/24-------> -11/24

the answer is
the two numbers are
19/24 and -11/24

Employees salary [$}: 30,000, 30,000, 35,000, 35,000, 40,000, 40,000.

CEO Salary: $70,000.

The correct answer is this: BOTH JAN AND MARCY ARE CORRECT.

Jan says the employee average salary is $35,000. This is correct as shown below:

Average employee salary = 30,000 + 30,000 + 35,000 +35,000 + 40,000 + 40,000 / 6 = 210 / 6 = $35,000.

Marcy says the average salary of all company members is $40,000. This is also true as shown below.

Average salary of all company members = 30,000 + 30,000 +35,000 + 35,000 + 40,000 + 40,000 + 70,000 / 7 = 280 / 7 = $40,000.

Find the area of triangle DEF with vertices D(-1,2), E(3,-2) and F(-2,-2).*

Veronika [31]

Answer:

<em>The area of the triangle DEF is 10.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Area of a Triangle:</u>

A triangle of base B and height H (both must be perpendicular) has an area of:

$\displaystyle A=\frac{BH}{2}$

The image below shows the triangle formed by the points DEF. It's important to notice the points E and F lie on the same horizontal line because they both have the same y-coordinate.

This fact simplifies the calculations since we can easily compute the length the of base as the difference of their x-coordinates:

B=3-(-2)=3+2=5

Being the base of a horizontal line, the height of the triangle can be calculated as the difference of y-coordinates of D and the height of that line.

H=2-(-2)=4

With these two values, we calculate the area:

$\displaystyle A=\frac{5*4}{2}=10$
