Your answer would be h<5ft. This is because this sign '<' means less than. So Brigitte's height is less than 5 ft. Glad I could help!

Brigitte is shorter than 5 feet. (Brigitte's height=h)

We write this in inequality form

Brigitte's height is h

So 'h' is shorter than 5 feet

Shorter means less than so we use < symbol. We should not use = symbol because height is shorter than 5 not equal to 5.

Suppose if it is given ' height is more than 5 feet ' then we use greater than symbol (>)

h is less than 5 feet

h < 5

Inequality is h < 5
