The length of a rectangle is 5/6 feet. the width is 3/8 feet.
how much greater is the length of the rectangle than the width?

a) 1/12 ft
b) 1/4 ft
c) 11/24 ft
d) 1/2 ft

C) 11/24

Step-by-step explanation:

rewrite each fraction as equivalent fraction with common denominator.

LCM(6,8) is 24

5/6 = 20/24

3/8 = 9/24

The difference between 20/24 and 9/24 is 11/24

C 11/24 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

5/6ft, and 3/8ft LCM (Least common multiple) would be 24 so what you do to the dominator u do to the numerator so 5/6ft × 4 = 20/24ft

and 3/8ft × 3 = 9/24ft

Final step: 20/24ft - 9/24ft = 11/24ft

step-by-step explanation:

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
