Amy wants to carpet a room that is 12 feet by 8 feet. How many square yards of carpet will she need to complete the room?

1 answer:

3 0

Assuming that the room is rectangle and carpet is rectangle
area=legnth times width
legnth=longer than width
12 is longer than 8
12ft=legnth
8ft=width

now convert to yards
1 yard=3 feet
1 foot=1/3 yard
12 ft times 1/3=4yards
8 ft times 1/3=8/3yards
multiply

area=4 tiimes 8/3
area=32/3
area=10 and 2/3 square yards

Plot three points and draw the line that has the following parametric equations:

juin [17]

Y = -3x + 6

y - 6 = -3x

-1/3 y + 2 = x

z = x -3

z = -1/3 y + 2 -3 = -1/3 y - 1

set z = 0

-1/3 y = 1

y = -3

set y = 0

z = - 1

Given three points A(-7, 1), B(m, 6) and P(-1, n). If the point P divides AB internally in the ratio of 3: 2, find the values of

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

m = 3 , n = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Section Formula.

$If \ the \ line \ segment \ AB \ where \ A = (x _1, y_1) \ and \ B = (x_2, y_2) \ divided \ by \ P =(x , y) \ in \ the \ ratio \ a : b,\\\\Then \ the \ points \ of \ P \ \\\\x = \frac{ax_2 + bx_1}{a+b} \ and \ y = \frac{ay_2 + by_1}{a+b}$

$Here (x_1 , y_ 1 ) = ( -7 , 1 ) \ and \ (x_ 2 , y _ 2 ) = (m , 6)\\\\ratio\ a:b = 3 : 2\\\\Therefore, P (x, y) \\\\x = \frac{3m + (2\times -7)}{5} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ [ \ x = -1 \ ] \\\\-1 = \frac{3m - 14}{5}\\\\- 5 = 3m - 14\\\\-5 + 14 = 3m\\\\9 = 3m \\\\m = 3$

$y =\frac{3\times 6 + 2 \times 1}{5}\\\\n = \frac{18 + 2}{5} = \frac{20}{5} = 4$
