Option A: >

Solution:

Given a triangle GHJ.

The line GH is perpendicular to line HJ.

This means the triangle is a right angled triangle.

In ΔGHJ, GH is the base of the triangle and

HJ is a height of the triangle.

Then the third side must be the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

We know that by the Pythagoras theorem,

(\text {Hypotenuse})^2=(\text{Base})^2+(\text{Height})^2

(\text {GJ})^2=(\text {GH})^2+(\text {HJ})^2

This clearly shows that the hypotenuse is greater than the height.

⇒ GJ > HJ

Option A: > is the correct answer.

If line GH is perpendicular to line HJ, then GJ is > HJ.

Answer:

y=1X

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the distance over the money made over the days worked is 2/2 which simplifies to 1 so that would be the one x. then the y intercept is found on the y axis where does the line cross the y axis? this would be at zero so you do not need to put that in the equation

At a bake sale there were 90 items sold total. If 42 of the items sold were cookies and the rest were brownies what is the ratio
kari74 [83]
Firstly, you do 90 - 42 to get the amount of brownies sold, which is 48. Then, you put 42 and 48 into a ratio like 42:48. After that, all you need to do is simplify to get 7:8.
