Answer:
The simplified form of given expression is 3/5.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given expression is
We need to find the product of two factions using diagram.
For 3/4, draw a box and divide it in 4 equal parts by using vertical lines. The color three parts of it.
For 4/5, draw a box and divide it in 5 equal parts by using horizontal lines. Then color the four parts of it.
Now combined both boxes and shown below.
From the below figure it is clear that
The number of common shaded small boxes = 12
Total number of small boxes = 20
The required fraction is
Cancel out common factor.
Therefore, the simplified form of given expression is 3/5.
This problem can be solved by calculating the area of the figure before removing the triangles, then subtracting the combined area of the triangles.
First, we have to find the area of the original composite figure. It appears that the figure consists of a 16 ft by 16 ft square with an 8 ft by 8 ft square cut out:
SA = (16*16) - (8*8)
SA = 256 - 64
SA = 192
The ORIGINAL area of this composite figure is 192 ft². Now we have to find the area of the removed triangles. Triangle area is found using half base times height. The base and height of each triangle appears to be 8, so we can plug in :
The area of each triangle is 32 ft². Finally, we should subtract the 3 triangles' area from the composite figure's area:
SA - 3(TA)
192 - 3(32)
192 - 96
96
The shaded region's area is 96 ft².
