Point M is on line segment \overline{LN}

Mathematics
1 answer:
MissTica11 months ago

Considering the relation built the presence of point M on line LN, the numerical length of LN is of 9 units.

<h3>What is the relation from the presence of point M on the line LN?</h3>

Point M splits line LN into two parts, LM and MN, hence the total length is given by:

LN = LM + MN.

From the given data, we have that:

  • LN = 2x - 5.
  • LM = 3.
  • MN = x - 1.

Hence we first solve for x.

LN = LM + MN.

2x - 5 = 3 + x - 1

x = 7.

Hence the total length is:

LN = 2x - 5 = 2 x 7 - 5 = 14 - 5 = 9 units.

On a set of blueprints for a new home, the contractor has established a scale of 0.5in : 10 ft. What are the dimensions on the b
Kipish [7]

Answer:

The dimensions on the blueprints are 0.9 inches and 0.8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain the relation between the drawing dimensions and

 the real dimensions

- A scale drawing make a real object with accurate sizes reduced

 or enlarged by a certain amount called the scale

- Ex: If the scale drawing is 1 : 10, so anything drawn with the size of

 1 have a size of 10 in the real so a measurement of 15 cm on the

 drawing will be 150 cm on the real

- In a scale drawing, all dimensions have been reduced by the same

 proportion

* Lets solve the problem

- On a set of blueprints for a new home, the contractor has

  established a scale of 0.5 in : 10 ft

∵ The drawing scale ratio must be in same unit

∴ Change the feet to inch

∵ 1 foot = 12 inches

∴ 10 feet = 10 × 12 = 120 inches

∴ The scale is 0.5 inches : 120 inches

- Simplify the scale by multiply it by 2

∴ The scale is 1 in : 240 in

- Lets find the dimensions on the blueprints

∵ The real dimensions are 18 feet and 16 feet

- Change the feet to inches

∴ 18 feet = 18 × 12 = 216 inches

∵ 16 feet = 16 × 12 = 192 inches

∵ The scale is 1 : 240

∴ 1/240 = x/216 ⇒ use cross multiplication

∴ 240 x = 216 divide both sides by 240

∴ x = 0.9 inch

∵ The scale is 1 : 240

∴ 1/240 = y/192 ⇒ use cross multiplication

∴ 240 y = 192 divide both sides by 240

∴ y = 0.8 inch

* The dimensions on the blueprints are 0.9 inches and 0.8 inches

Which expression shows the distance on the number line between −12 and 8?
makkiz [27]

Answer: The answer for this would be the rise over run. If you know what the rise over run expression is great. If not, here it is. The slope of a non-vertical line is the ratio of the amount it rises over some interval, over the length of that interval.

It is written like this rise/run.

Step-by-step explanation: Start from 8 and RISE (vertically) 4 places, the RUN (horizontally) and count until you get to -12. Then you take your numbers and divide.

What are the coordinates of the vertex of the parabola described by the equation below? y = -7(x - 4)2 - 5
pochemuha
To get the vertex of the parabola we proceed as follows;
y=-7(x-4)^2-5
The above can be written as:
y=-7x^2+56x-117
The values of a,b and c are:
a=-7, b=56 and c=-117
x=-b/(2a)
x=-56/(-7*2)=4
but;
y=-7x^2+56x-117
y=-7(4)^2+56(4)-117
y=-5
Thus;
x=4 and y=-5
The vertex will be at point (4,-5)

Help please. solve for x and y.
ohaa [14]
To solve for x and y, you need to know if the triangles are congruent. They are because of their congruent sides and exterior angles are the same measure.
Now you know that the triangles are congruent, you can set up a proportion for the side lengths you are looking for.
For x...

22/10=x/12. Then cross mutiply. x =26.4
You can do this because the triangles are congruent.
For y...

22/10 =37.4/y. Then you cross multiply. y=17

The correct answer is B.
