One fifth plus one tenth equals?
Correct Answer One fifth and a tenth
Explanation The question asks for the sum of one fifth and one tenth. To find the answer, we need to add these two fractions together. One fifth can be written as 1/5, and one tenth can be written as 1/10. Adding these fractions gives us a common denominator of 10, so the sum is 1/5 + 1/10 = 2/10 + 1/10 = 3/10. Therefore, the answer is "Three tenths".

A triangle with two equals sides is cut in half, will the halves be equal?
Correct Answer Yes
Explanation In an isosceles triangle, the line of symmetry runs from the vertex angle (the angle opposite the base) to the midpoint of the base. This line divides the triangle into two congruent right triangles. Each of these right triangles will have:
One leg that is half the length of the base of the original triangle
The other leg equal to one of the equal sides of the original triangle
The hypotenuse being the other half of the original isosceles triangle
Therefore, the two resulting triangles will be congruent (exactly the same in terms of shape and size).
