Segment AB has length "a" and is divided by points P and Q into AP, PQ, and QB, such that AP = 2PQ = 2QB.
a) Find the distance between point A and the midpoint of segment QB
b) Find the distance between the midpoints of segments AP and QB

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 7a/8; b) 5a/8  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

AP = 2PQ = 2QB

Calculations:

1. A to the midpoint of QB

        a = AP + PQ + QB

If 2PQ = 2QB.

    PQ = QB and

    AP = 2PQ

∴      a = 2PQ + 2PQ = 4PQ

    PQ = a/4

    AP = 2PQ = a/2

Let M be the midpoint of QB.

AM = AP + PQ + QM

     = a/2 + a/4 + a/8

     = 7a/8

2. Midpoints of AP and QB

Let N be the midpoint of AP

NM = NP + PQ + QM

      = a/4 +a/4 + a/8 =

      = 5a/8

 

Segment AB Has Length "a" And Is Divided By Points P And Q Into AP, PQ, And QB, Such That AP = 2PQ =

A ramp into a building forms a 6° angle with the ground. If the ramp is 8 feet long, how far away from the building is the entry point of the ramp? Round the solution to the nearest hundredth.

Answers

Answer:

7.96 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Length of ramp L = 8 ft

Angle with the horizontal (ground) = 6°

Applying trigonometry;

With the length of ramp as the hypothenuse,

The horizontal distance d as the adjacent to angle 6°

Since we want to calculate the adjacent and we have the hypothenuse and the angle. We can apply cosine;

Cosθ = adjacent/hypothenuse

Substituting the values;

Cos6° = d/8

d = 8cos6°

d = 7.956175162946

d = 7.96 ft

The building is 7.96ft away from the entry point of the ramp.

Answers

Answer:

4.2 gallons

67.2 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

He had 3 gallons of punch.

He added another 1.2 gallons.

The number of gallons of punch he has now is:

3 + 1.2 = 4.2 gallons

1 gallon = 16 cups

=> 4.2 gallons = 4.2 * 16 = 67.2 cups

He has 67.2 cups

Answers

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

P(A n B) given A and B are independent events is P(A) * P(B)

The probability of intersection of event A and B is 0.135, the correct option is D.

What is Probability?

Probability is the study of chance of an event to happen.

A and B are two independent events.

P(A) = 0.3

P(B) = 0.45

P(A ∩ B) = P(A) * P(B)

P(A ∩ B) = 0.3 *0.45

P(A ∩ B) = 0.135

Therefore, the probability of intersection of event A and B is 0.135, the correct option is D.

The numbers x and y are inversely proportional. When the sum of x and y is 42, x is twice y. What is the value of y when x = -8? PLEASE HELP

Answers

Answer:

y= -4

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=42.   We know that x plus y equals 42.

x=2y .   We also know that x equals twice y.

2y+y=42.   Since we know that x=2y, we're going to replace x with 2y from the original equation, simplified would be 3y=42.

y=14.   3y=42 simplified is y=14, this is because we divided both sides by 3 (since 3 and 42 are both divisible by 3) (btw divisible by 3 simply means that it can be divided by 3)

x+14=42.   Now that we know what y equals, let's replace y with 14 from the original equation.

x=28.  Now that we know that x=28 and y=14, we know that y is always x/2.

When x=-8, we divide it by 2 and get, -4.

Not absolutely positive as this was all mental math, but hope this helps! :)

The value of the variable y at x = -8, will be negative 49.

What are ratio and proportion?

A ratio is a collection of ordered integers a and b represented as a/b, with b never equaling zero. A proportionate expression is one in which two items are equal.

The numbers x and y are inversely proportional. Then we have

y ∝ 1/x

y = k/x    ...1

When the sum of x and y is 42. Then the equation will be

x + y = 42   ...2

x is twice y. Then the equation will be

x = 2y   ...3

From equations 2 and 3, we have

2y + y = 42

3y = 42

y = 14

Then the value of x will be

x = 2(14)

x = 28

Then the value of k will be

14 = k / 28

k = 392

Then the equation will be

y = 392 / x

Then the value of the variable y at x = -8, will be

y = 392 / (-8)

y = -49

Thus, the value of the variable y at x = -8, will be negative 49.

find the coordinates of the vertices of the triangle after a reflection across the line x= -1 and then across the x-axis​

Answers

Answer:  C

Step-by-step explanation:

Reflection across x = -1

The simplest way to calculate the new coordinates is to draw x = -1, count how many units away the point is from x = -1, then count the same number of units from x = -1 in the OPPOSITE direction to find the reflection. (see attachment)

J = (0, 0) is 1 unit to the right of x = -1

J' = (-2, 0) is 1 unit to the left of x = -1

K = (1, 4) is 2 units to the right of x = -1

K' = (-3, 4) is 2 units to the left of x = -1

L = (3, 3) is 4 units to the right of x = -1

L' = (-5, 3) is 4 units to the left of x = -1

Reflection across x-axis

Change the sign of the y-value:  (x, y) → (x, -y)

J' = (-2, 0)           J'' = (-2, 0)

K' = (-3, 4)           K'' = (-3, -4)  

L' = (-5, 3)            L' = (-5, -3)

2. 1/6

3. 1/3

4. 1/12

Answers

Answer:

1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that you will draw a heart is 1/3, the correct option is 3.

What is the probability?

Probability refers to a possibility that deals with the occurrence of random events.

The probability of all the events occurring need to be 1.

The formula of probability is defined as the ratio of a number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes.

P(E) = Number of favorable outcomes / total number of outcomes

We are given that;

Number of cards=  6 hearts, 4 clubs, and 8 spades

Now,

To find the probability of drawing a heart, we need to divide the number of hearts by the total number of cards in the pile. The number of hearts is 6 and the total number of cards is 6 + 4 + 8 = 18.

The probability of drawing a heart is 1/18=1/3

Therefore, by probability the answer will be 1/3.

In the diagram, what is the measure of AngleWRS?

Answers

Answer:

25 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle WRS for the given triangle will be ∠WRS = 25°.

What is an angle?

An angle is a geometry in plane geometry that is created by 2 rays or lines that have an identical terminus.

The identical endpoint of the two rays—known as the vertex—is referenced as an angle's sides.

In another word, the angle is the measurement of the angular distance for example for linear motion we have a meter inch but for angular rotation, we don't have the measurement so the angle is useful to measure the angular rotation.

Given that the triangle has an angle as shown in the image

The angle TRW → 25x + 30 = 180 -5x

→ x = 5°

Now the angle WRS → 180 - ( 25x + 30)

∠WRS = 25° hence, the correct answer will be this.

so you times 30.24 by 5

30.24x 5 = 151.2

So the answer is £151.20

interest percentage rate would be 1.6754%

The interest rate for the account is 1.68%

What is interest rate?

The interest rate is the amount a lender charges a borrower and is a percentage of the principal the amount loaned.

Given that,

Sue invests £9000 in an account for one year.

She pays £30.24 at a rate of 20%

So, 20% of the interest = £30.24

Let the interest be x,

X0.2 = 30.24

X = £151.2

The total interest was = £ 151.2

The rate R at which generated this interest =

R = (100 × 151.2)/(1 × 9000)

R = 15120/9000

R = 1.68%

Divide the price Rob paid by the percentage the price is of the total.

85% = 0.85
