So to add fractions they need to have a common denominator, which in this case is 24. then multiply 1 by 4 and 5 by 3 because whatever you multiply the denominator by you need to do the same to the numerator, which will get you 4/24+15/24 then you add across the numerators and you get 19/24
3w-13w=-20
Combine like terms
-10w=-20
divide both sides by -10
w=2
Answer:
- sin C=h/a
- substitution property of equality
- commutative property of multiplication
Step-by-step explanation:
Because two points determine a line, you can draw altitude BD perpendicular to AC with height h. By the definition of a sine ratio, <u>sin(C) = h/a</u>, which can be rearranged into a·sin(C) = h. The area of △ABC is A=1/2bh. The <u>substitution property of equality</u> can be used to write A=1/2b(a sinC), which becomes A=1/2ab(sinC) by the <u>commutative property of multiplication</u>.

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you that the sine ratio is ...
Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse
Here, the side of the right triangle opposite angle C is designated "h", the height of ∆ABC. The hypotenuse of that right triangle is side "a". So ...
sin(C) = h/a
__
The substitution property of equality lets you replace any expression with its equal. Here, we have h=a·sin(C), so we can use a·sin(C) in place of h in the formula for triangle area:
1/2bh = 1/2ba·sin(C)
__
The commutative property of multiplication lets you rearrange the order of the factors in a product, so ...
ba = ab
and
A = 1/2ba·sin(C) = 1/2ab·sin(C)
