<span>△ABC∼△DEF
</span>Height of <span>△ABC: h1=20 inches
</span>Height of △DEF: h2=24 inches
<span>Ratio of the area of △ABC to the area of △DEF: R=?
</span>
R=(h1/h2)^2
R=[ (20 inches) /(24 inches) ]^2
R=(5/6)^2
R=5^2/6^2
R=25/36
Answer: T<span>he ratio of the area of △ABC to the area of △DEF is 25/36</span>

Rational. Not whole or integer because its an exact measurement and not irrational because it CAN be expressed as a ratio (fraction, decimal measurement )

It works because 7 x 9 x 10 is the same thing as 7 x 90, since 9 x 10 is just 90. So basically he is just writing more but the answer will still be the same.
1/2 = 0.5
12 & 1/2 = 12 + 1/2 = 12 + 0.5 = 12.5
4 & 1/2 = 4 + 1/2 = 4 + 0.5 = 4.5
Refer to the diagram below. Note how I divided the figure into two rectangles.
The larger red rectangle is 12.5 feet by 10 feet. It has area 12.5*10 = 125 square feet.
The smaller blue rectangle has dimensions 4.5 feet by 5 feet (the 5 is from 15-10 = 5), so it has area 4.5*5 = 22.5 square feet
Now add up those individual areas to get the total area
125+22.5 = 147.5
Then convert that to a mixed number
147.5 = 147 + 0.5 = 147 + 1/2 = 147 & 1/2
<h3>The correct area is 147 & 1/2 feet</h3>
