The coordinate of the point is (6,-2)

<h3>How to determine the coordinate of the point?</h3>

The given parameters are:

A = (1,8)

B = (7,-4)

The location of the point (i.e 5/6) means that the ratio is:

m :n = 5 : (6 - 5)

m : n = 5 : 1

The coordinate of the point is then calculated as:

(x,y) = \frac{1}{m + n}* (mx_2 + nx_1,my_2 + ny_1)

So, we have:

(x,y) = \frac{1}{5 + 1}* (5 * 7 + 1 * 1 , 5 * -4 + 1 * 8)

Evaluate

(x,y) = \frac{1}{6}* (36 , -12)

Evaluate the product

(x,y) = (6,-2)

Hence, the coordinate of the point is (6,-2)

anastassius [24]
The bell curve attached below shows the normal distribution of the data.

We are looking the value of X such as the area to its left gives the probability of 0.75

We first need the z-score which we can obtain by reading from the z-table (as shown in the second picture below)

The z-score is = 0.7734

Then we use the following formula to work out X
z-score = (X - Mean) ÷ Standard Deviation
0.7734 = (X - 100) ÷ 15
0.7734×15 = X - 100
11.601 = X - 100
X = 11.601 + 100
X = 111.601 ≈ 112 

Hence the third quartile is 112

cricket20 [7]

There are three answers and they are: choice 2, choice 3, choice 5

======================================================

Further Explanation:

Choice 1 is false because the intersection of the altitudes of a triangle leads to the orthocenter.

----

Choice 2 is true because the three medians of any triangle always intersect at the centroid. A median is a line that goes from one vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. In this case, we go from point E to the midpoint of side CD. The midpoint of CD is found by bisecting segment CD (see choice 5)

----

Choice 3 is true. This is effectively the same as choice 5 below. The "perpendicular" aspect does not matter.

----

Choice 4 is false. Following the steps mentioned here will create an altitude line (see choice 1)

----

Choice 5 is true. To bisect something is to cut it in half. Let's say that point F is the midpoint of line segment CD. This means that line segment EF is one of the three medians of triangle CDE.

-------

edit update: I changed choice 3 from false to true

Answer:

The way to calculate viewing area would be base multiplied by height, but if you would be more specific I would provide a more in detail answer.
