Additional comment

Multiplication by a negative number has the effect of re-ordering numbers:

  -1 < 2 . . . 1 > -2 (both sides multiplied by -1)

Other functions can have the same effect, so care must be taken when applying functions to both sides of an inequality.

  1/2 > 1/3 . . . 2 < 3 (reciprocal function applied to both sides)

  30° < 60° . . . cos(30°) > cos(60°) (cosine function applied to both sides)

his first public project he is asked to create a small scale drawing. the garden is a right triangle with base 25m and height 30m. are you trying to solve for the last side/hypotenuse? the irrational form of the answer would be 5\sqrt{61}
