Write a mathematical sentence to compare each pair of measures.

GB and GF

Please help. I don't understand.

I don't understand either. You'll need to supply more details.
Ordinarily, a measure is any function that assigns non-negative values to objects, sets, points, etc. The most common example of a measure for the line is the absolute value function. For pairs of points in the plane the distance function can be used for a measure. For arbitrary geometric figures we can use the functions that assign the volume or surface area to the object. For an arbitrary set of points we could use the cardinal number of the set, i.e., the function that assigns the number of obects in the set. Generally, we use measures to order objects and sets by size.
In your question you'll need to define what GB and GF refer to and how they're being used. Right now there isn't enough given for me to help here.
Maybe someone else knows?

Hm, well thanks for all that information. Yea, I still don't understand. All it said was:

Write a mathematical sentence to compare each pair of measures.

32. GB and GF
33. FJ and JC
34. AC and AD

I know that the answer to 33 is FJ = JL . But I don't understand how they got that.

Um..ok. i see I did give a few examples for measures, but we're still missing something -either from the instructions or from the section these exercises come from.
I think -I'm not certain- that the exercise might be asking you to order the strings. Thus we would use the dictionary ordering. This means we basicaly alphabetize them.
For 32., we could say GB > GF since B comes before F.
For 33. we'd have FJ > JC
I really don't understand how the answer is FJ = JL when JL is not even in the question.
For 34 we'd have AC > AD.
I should point out that the '>' symbol means 'comes before' in this context.
I think we might be able to make a reasonable guess if more info. is provided. If the letters stand for digits, then some other measure might be meant too.

Thank you sooooo much for all your help. I actually found out that the letters went with a graph. And I think the answer in the back of the book "FJ = JL" is a mistake. Thank you again for all your help.

I have this in my text book. It comes with a graph. G(10, -1). B(5, -1). G(10, -1). F(3, 5)

I'm thinking you have to do the coordinates for each. But put them in mathematical sentences messes me up.

Other coordinates:


F(3, 5). J(0, 1). J(0, 1). C(-3, -3)

A(2, 3). C(-3, -3). A(2, 3). D(-2, 4)

Perhaps you'll have to write a sentence like, "While Graph A is linear, Graph B is non-linear," or "Graph A opens up, while Graph B opens down."

I have the same textbook and I think shes right about the graph part but I think your supposed to compare measurements instead of describing the traits of the segments

Maybe its something like "GB and GF are non-collinear". I have the same book so...

You're welcome! I'm glad I could help you figure out the problem. It seems like there was missing information or some mistake in the book's answer. Remember that when you encounter math problems like this in the future, it's important to carefully read the instructions and understand the context of the problem before attempting to solve it. If you still have any other questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask.
