is a directed segment with endpoints A(2,2) and B(14,14). In two or more complete sentences, explain how you would verify that Point X, with a coordinate of (6,6), divides in a 1:2 ratio?
Since the ratio has to be 1: 2 which corresponds to 0.5, this means that we have to find a value for X that satisfies the condition given by the problem. So X/AB is 0.5
so ......
x = 6 since the segment has a leght of 12 = (14-2)
You can verify that Point X, with coordinate of (6,6) divides in a 1:2 ratio by finding the distance between points A and B. Doing so, you will find that the distance between points A and B is equal to 12, so 6 is half of 12. Therefore, the point (6,6) or X is halfway between points A and B(12), making the ratio 6:12 or simplified to 1:2.
Well it shows that the main cube is 9 blocks tall. It is a perfect cube, not a rectangular prism or anything, so every side is the same. So 9 cubed. Or, in other words, 9*9*9
