2 cakes - Theresa's and Joe's
Theresa's cake had 6 pieces after she cut it. (2 times the size of Joe's pieces)
Joe's cake had 12 pieces after he cut it. (1/2 the size of Theresa's pieces)
We know that 8/12ths of ONE cake were eaten and that Joe ate 2 of his pieces.
We want to know how many pieces Theresa ate of her cake. Keeping in mind that her pieces are equal to 2 of Joe's pieces we can solve this question.
8/12 eaten total
if 2/12 by Joe
then 8-2 = 6, 6/12 by Theresa
(BUT: Theresa's pieces were twice the size of Joe's so we will divide by 2)
6/12 = 3/6
Answer: Theresa ate 3 pieces of her cake
Given:
Amount spent on 2 DVDs = $41.75
Sales tax = $3.15
Coupon = $1.00 off
To find:
The cost of each DVD.
Solution:
Let x be the cost of each DVD.
Then, cost of two DVDs = 2x
Amount spent of 2 DVDs = Cost of 2 DVDs + Sales tax - Coupon discount
Divide both sides by 2.
Therefore, the cost of each DVD is $19.8.
1. M is the midpoint of LN and O is the midpoint of NP. This makes the triangle MNO equal to half of LNP. Then you can get this equation
MO= (1/2) LP
If you insert MO = 2x +6 and LP = 8x – 20 the calculation would be:
2x+6= (1/2)( 8x-20)
2x+6= 4x-10
2x-4x= -10 - 6
-2x= -16
x=8
2. Centroid is the point that intersects with three median lines of the triangle. The centroid should divide the median lines into 1:2 ratio. In AC lines, A located in the base so A.F:FC would be 1:2
Then, the answer would be:
A.F= 1/(1+2) * AC
A.F= 1/3 * 12= 4
FC= 2/(1+2) * AC
FC= 2/3 * 12= 8
3. Since
∠BAD=∠DAC
∠ABD=∠ACD
AD=AD
The triangle ABD and ACD are similar. You can get this equation
BD=DC
x+8= 3x+12
x-3x= 12-8
-2x=4
x=-2
DC=3x+12= 3(-2) +12= 6
4. Orthocenter made by intersection of triangle altitude
A
BC lines slope would be (-4)-(-1)/1-4= -3/-3= 1. The altitude line slope would be -1, the function would be:
y=-x +a
0= 1+a
a=-1
y=-x-1
B
AC lines slope would be (-4)-(-1)/1-0= -3. The altitude line slope would be 1/3, the function would be:
y=1/3x+a
-1=1/3(4)+a
a=-7/3
y=1/3x - 7/3
C
BC lines slope would be (-1)-(-1)/4 = 0/4.
The line would be
0=x+a
a=-1
0=x-1
x=1
y=-x-1 = 1/3x-7/3
-x-(1/3x)=-7/3 +1
-4/3x= -4/3
x=1
y=-x-1
y=-1-1= -2
The orthocenter would be (1,-2)

a. Circumcenter: the intersection of perpendicular bisector lines<span>
b. Incenter: the intersection of bisector lines
c. Centroid: </span>the intersection of median lines<span>
d. Orthocenter: </span>the intersection of altitude lines
Nope you posted this five days ago no need for another answer.
2/33 * 1/5 * 11/10 = (2 * 1 * 11) / (33 * 5 * 10) = 22/1650 reduces to 1/75
