If GH = 3 and HJ = 5, then G ___ J.

Choose the relationship symbol that would make a true statement.


Respuesta :

it will be less than

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is as follows.

          GH = 3 and HJ = 5

Therefore, simplify for H from both the equations as follows.

          H = [tex]\frac{3}{G}[/tex]   .......... (1)

and,    H = [tex]\frac{5}{J}[/tex]   .......... (2)

Equating both equation s(1) and (2), we get the following.

       [tex]\frac{3}{G}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5}{J}[/tex]

             G = [tex]\frac{3J}{5}[/tex]

or,          G = 0.6J

This means that J will be 0.6 times greater than G.

Thus, we can conclude that G < J.
