Answer:
base = 6.4m
height = 5m
Step-by-step explanation:
Given area = 16m^2
3/4 -1/2 = 1/4 into something x 0.25 its size then add
We see that 2.5 is 10 multiplied. not relevant unless doing algebra
We also see that 0.5 is 0.25 x 2 not relevant unless doing algebra
We start with 5
16/5 = 3.2
if 5 is the height then 3.2 x 2 must be the base.
As we half base to find area so we change this value and reverse the area 1/2 above. 3.2 x 2 = 6.4m base. and 5m height stays as it is.
If we did algebra
Then 1/2 = 0.5 = 4.5
3/4 = 0.75 = 3.75
and we would have to plug in 1 as x
3 as x to find one value as 5.5 (-1) = 4.5
We find 3.75 as 5 (-1 )- 1/4 = 3.75
3.75 x 4.5 = 16.875m^2
and is closest fit using 1/4, 1/2 and -1.
But 3.2 x 5 is a better multiplication as 3 1/5 and finds 16 exact.
