The given endpoints are A (-1, 2) and B (7, 8).

Let the coordinates of P be (x,y)
Because AP:PB = 1:3, therefore
\frac{x-(-1)}{7-x} = \frac{1}{3}
Cross multiply.
3(x+1) = 7 - x
3x + 3 = 7 - x
4x = 4
x = 1

Also,
\frac{y-2}{8-y} = \frac{1}{3}
Cross multiply.
3(y - 2) = 8 - y
3y - 6 = 8 - y
4y = 14
y = 7/2

Answer:
The coordinates of P are (1, 7/2)

Mon wants to make 5 lbs of the sugar syrup. How much water and how much sugar does he need to make 75% syrup?
Julli [10]

Answer:

He needs 3.75 lbs of sugar and 1.25 lbs of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x lbs be the amount of sugar in the syrup. Then 5-x lbs is the amount of water in this syrup.

Note

5 lbs - 100%

x lbs - 75%

Write a proportion:

\dfrac{5}{x}=\dfrac{100}{75}

Cross multiply:

100x=5\cdot 75\\ \\100x=375\\ \\x=\dfrac{375}{100}=3.75

So, he needs 3.75 lbs of sugar and 5 - 3.75 = 1.25 lbs of water.

Does anyone know this?
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Δ HGI ≅ ΔEDF

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Δ DEF ≅ Δ GHI

From the given congruence statement we can figure out the corresponding sides that are congruent.

The arrangement shows:

D\rightarrow G\\E\rightarrow H\\F\rightarrow I

So the rearranged statement can be written as:

ΔEDF ≅ Δ HGI

or

∴ Δ HGI ≅ ΔEDF
