Answer:
This is a complete lesson with instruction & exercises for 5th grade about multiplying decimals by decimals. The interpretation for multiplying a decimal by a decimal is to think of it as taking a fractional part of a decimal number (the symbol × translates to "of"). The lesson compares multiplication by a decimal to scaling & shrinking a stick. Lastly, it shows the common shortcut to decimal multiplication (multiply as if there were no decimal points; the answer has as many decimals as the factors have in total.)
In the video below, I explain the rule for multiplying decimals (put as many decimal digits in the answer as there are in the factors.) I explain where this rule comes from, using fraction multiplication. The lesson continues below the video.
Is there any answer choices or a picture??
Can’t see the coordinate plan so I can’t answer it
Answer:
The attachment shows ΔBAC ~ ΔBDA
Step-by-step explanation:
You want segment AB to be part of two similar, but not congruent, triangles. One way to do that is to make AB the hypotenuse of one triangle and the leg of another.
It is convenient to construct these triangles using point M as the arbitrary midpoint of the hypotenuse of the larger triangle. (We don't know the coordinates of M—we just know it is on the perpendicular bisector of AB.) BC is a diameter of circle M, and AD is the altitude of ΔABC.
