I think it means "side-side-side", meaning that two triangles are congruent if their side lengths are the same.
9/6 = 1.5
24/1.5 = 16
triangle DEF has a primeter of 16 inches
Use the formula given to you with the triangle and the two numbers that are in the triangle.
A. You need to compare 2/5, 1/2 and 3/4
2/5= .4
1/2= .5
3/4=.75
Therefore the bucket that is 2/5 full is less than 1/2 full
