This is quite interesting let me know if someone responds…
Hi Bamdeedaowzwbi
Lets find the LCD of both fractions which is 14
now make the denominators (bottom numbers) the same as the LCD (14)
Okay now subtract now that the denominators are the same
join the denominators together
simplify it
Answer: 5/14
*Key word in the question was difference, difference in math definition means subtraction.
I think your teacher may have made a typo. Refer to the diagram below. If we ignore segment ZA for now, we can see a rectangle forms with angle W = angle Y = 90. Also, we can see that WX = 6 is the horizontal base and WZ = 8 is the vertical height.
However, the side opposite WZ (which is XY) should also be 8 cm tall, and not 6 cm. If XY was 6 cm, then point Y would move to where point A is located (and the quadrilateral would be WXAZ instead of WXYZ). This new quadrilateral would not have a 90 degree angle at point Y's new location.
In other words, if we want angle Y to be 90 degrees, then side XY must be 8 units long. I have a feeling this is where the typo is, but your teacher might have been intending to say something else.
Answer:
a rectangle would provide the largest area for the pigs
