Help with geometry/rational expressions?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the height of the triangle is 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x/x^2+2x=1/x+1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is that the rational expression in simplified form?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/(x+2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ Area of \triangle }{ Area of rectangle }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Atriangle=x*2/2=x Arectangle=x*(x+2)=x^2+2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm sorry, I'm still confused, could you help me put all this together so I might understand better? Sorry, if I'm asking too much of you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you have answers?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To the area of triangle over area of rectangle? No.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because it is inside the rectangle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ area of \triangle }{ area of rectangle }\] = \[\frac{ x(2)/2 }{ x(x+2) } = \frac{ x }{ x^2 + 2x }\]
