readiness quiz
Before you get started, take this readiness quiz.
- The length of a rectangle is [latex]3[/latex] less than the width. Let [latex]w[/latex] represent the width. Write an expression for the length of the rectangle.If you missed this problem, review [link].
- Simplify: [latex]\frac{1}{2}\left(6h\right)[/latex].If you missed this problem, review [link].
- Simplify: [latex]\frac{5}{2}\left(10.3 - 7.9\right)[/latex].If you missed this problem, review [link].
In this section, we’ll continue working with geometry applications. We will add some more properties of triangles, and we’ll learn about the properties of rectangles and trapezoids.
