Question

If GJ = 7 and HJ = 6, then H ___ G.

Choose the relationship symbol that would make a true statement.

<
=
>

Answer 1

when H<G because if H is 6 and G is 7 , G is bigger than H

Answer 2

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The given equation is as follows.

GJ = 7 and HJ = 6

Solving for J as follows.

J =
`(7)/(G)` .......... (1)

and, J =
`(6)/(H)` .......... (2)

Now, equating the values of Both equation (1) and (2) as follows.

`(7)/(G)` =
`(6)/(H)`

7H = 6G

or, H =
`(6G)/(7)`

= 0.85G

This means that the value of G is 0.85 times greater than H.

Thus, we can conclude that H < G.
