Question

When I say "I am as tall as my brother", which of the following equations I am actually representing?

• A. My height = My brother's height
• B. My weight = My brother's weight
• C. My height > My brother's height
• D. My height < My brother's height

Answer 1

The correct option is A My height = My brother's height

Tall refers to the quantity height.
"I am as tall as my brother" means that my height is same as (equal to) my brother's height.
Hence, the mathematical representation of the given statement is, My height = My brother's height.

The mathematical representation 'My height > My brother's height' means that 'My height is greater than My brother's height'.
The mathematical representation 'My height < My brother's height' means that 'My height is less than My brother's height'.
