Find the area A of triangle JKL with the vertices J(5,8), K(0,7), and L(5,4)

Mathematics

Answer:

Area of the triangle is 10 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the formula for the area of a triangle is: "base x height / 2", and  in this case, we can consider the triangle's base as the segment that joins the vertices (5, 4) and (5, 8) which gives a segment length of 4 units. The height of the triangle is then the distance between the third vertex (0,7) and the base, which is exactly 5 units. Then the area becomes:

Area = 4 x 5 / 2 = 10 square units.

The reciprocal of a fraction less than 1 is always a fraction greater than 1.why is this?
Rama09 [41]
First of all, you know that a fraction is smaller than 1 if the top number is smaller than the bottom. It works both ways, meaning that if the top number is larger than the bottom number, the fraction is greater than 1.

So, for example, a fraction less than 1 can be expressed as
(x-1)/x
because the top number is smaller than the bottom number.

The reciprocal can be found by flipping the top and the bottom, so the reciprocal is
x/(x-1)

x is always greater than x-1, so in the reciprocal, the top number will be larger than the bottom number. That means it will always be greater than 1.

Hope this helps!
