The ratio of MD to DN is equal to 2.

<h3>How to find the partition ratio for a line segment</h3>

In accordance with the image set aside, the locations of the points M and N are M(x, y) = (- 6, - 4) and N(x, y) = (6, 4), respectively. Now we determine the vectors associated to line segments MD and DN by vector sum:

<u>MD</u> = D(x, y) - M(x, y)

<u>MD</u> = (2, 4 / 3) - (- 6, - 4)

<u>MD</u> = (8, 16 / 3)

<u>DN</u> = N(x, y) - D(x, y)

<u>DN</u> = (6, 4) - (2, 4 / 3)

<u>DN</u> = (4, 8 / 3)

Lastly, we find the length of each line segment by Pythagorean theorem:

MD = √[8² + (16 / 3)²]

MD = (8 / 3)√13

DN = √[4² + (8 / 3)²]

DN = (4 / 3)√13

And the ratio of MD to DN is:

MD / DN = [(8 / 3)√13] / [(4 / 3)√13]

MD / DN = 2

The ratio of MD to DN is equal to 2.

Inga [223]

we know that

the car gets 18 miles per -----------> 1 gallon of gasoline

for 543 miles ---------------------> x gallons of gasoline

by proportion

543/18=x/1---------->x=543/18------->x=30.17 gallons

therefore

the answer is

Angl is a square. The equation of line NG is Y= 1/2 X - 6. Find the equation of line LG in slope intercept form given that the c

Irina18 [472]

Answer: y=-2x-9

Step-by-step explanation:

If ANGL is a square, then NG and LG are adjacent sides.

Adjacent sides are perpendicular. [Each angle is 90°]

The equation of line NG is $Y=\dfrac12 X-6$ .

By comparing it to equation in slope intercept form y=mx+c ( where , m= slope , c=y-interecpt)

slope = $\dfrac12$

Let slope of LG be <em>n</em>, then

$n\times \dfrac{1}{2}=-1$ [Product of slopes of two perpendicular line =-1]

$\Rightarrow n=-2$

Equation of a line passes through (a,b) and have slope m is given by :-

$(y-b)=m(x-a)$

Equation of LG :

$(y-1)=-2(x-(-5))\\\\\Rightarrow\ y-1=-2x-10\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=-2x-9$ [In intercept form]

inna [77]

Answer:

4,5,27

Problem:

Boris chose three different numbers.

The sum of the three numbers is 36.

One of the numbers is a perfect cube.

The other two numbers are factors of 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's pretend those numbers are:

$a,b, \text{ and } c$ .

We are given the sum is 36: $a+b+c=36$ .

One of our numbers is a perfect cube. $a=n^3$ where $n$ is an integer.

The other two numbers are factors of 20. $bk=20$ and $ci=20$ where $a,c,i, \text{ and } k \text{ are integers}$ .

$n^3+\frac{20}{k}+\frac{20}{i}=36$

From here I would just try to find numbers that satisfy the conditions using trial and error.

$3^3+\frac{20}{2}+\frac{20}{2}$

$27+10+10$

$47$

$3^3+\frac{20}{4}+\frac{20}{5}$

$27+5+4$

$36$

So I have found a triple that works:

$27,5,4$

The numbers in ascending order is:

$4,5,27$
