Answer:  NO. if a/b > c/d,   a/d is not greater than b/c

Step-by-step explanation:   The the larger the number in the denominator, the smaller its value as it is represents fractional value, not a whole number. So when a "small" numerator is moved to a denominator, it increases in size, and the large number in the numerator moved to a denominator decreases in size.  

Moving the denominator from a smaller fraction to the left side will diminish the value of the new fraction.

3/4 > 1/2  but 3/2 < 4/1

7/8 > 5/6 but  7/6 < 8/5

1/2 > 1/4  but   1/4 < 2/1

A pyramid has a regular hexagonal base with side links of four and a slant height of six. Find the total area of the pyramid
vova2212 [387]

Area of the Base = 6 * side^2 / 4 * tan (180/6)

Area of the Base = 6 * 16 / 4 * 0.57735

Area of the Base = 96 / 2.3094

Area of the Base = 41.5692387633


Area of 1 Face = 2 * 6 = 12

Area of 6 Faces = 72


Total Area = 41.5692387633 + 72

Total Area = 113.5692387633
