Solving Equations With Fractional Coefficients Some equations include a variable with a fractional coefficient. Solve this kind of equation by multiplying both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of the fraction and canceling factors. x = x = 6 x = x = Multiply both sides by the reciprocal of B. Cancel factors and multiply. Solution. The problem x = x is the same as =. To solve this problem, first multiply both sides by which yields x = 96. Then divide both sides by for the solution x =. Today s lesson combines both these steps into one by using the reciprocal. The next two examples show how you can use this algebra skill to find the missing dimension for either a triangle or a trapezoid. Height =? Base = 6 in Height = in Area = in A = bh 5 = (h) 5 = (h) 0 Area = 5 cm Base = cm = 9 = h h The height of the triangle is 9 cm. Multiplying both sides by ( ) cancels. A = (b + b )h = (6 + b ) = (6 + b ) 6 = (6 + b ) 6 = + b 0 Base =? = 0 = b b Use the distributive property to simplify. The length of base is 0 inches.

Constructing a Triangle With Two Given Angles and a Given Side (ASA) You can use a compass and a straightedge to construct a triangle with two given angles and the side between them. These are the given angles: P Q This is the side between the two angles: P Q With the straightedge, draw a segment that is longer than PQ.
