Answer:
- D(5, 4), E(14, 7), M(9.5, 5.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
As AD = 1/4AB and DE ║ AC, the ratio CE/CB = 1/4, or CE = 1/4CB
<u>Find the coordinates of D:</u>
- x = 1 + 1/4(17 - 1) = 1 + 4 = 5
- y = 5 + 1/4(1 - 5) = 5 - 1 = 4
<u>Find the coordinates of E:</u>
- x = 13 + 1/4(17 - 13) = 13 + 1 = 14
- y = 9 + 1/4(1 - 9) = 9 - 2 = 7
<u>Find the coordinates of the midpoint M of DE:</u>
- x = (5 + 14)/2 = 19/2 = 9.5
- y = (4 + 7)/2 = 11/2 = 5.5
Answer:
30 out of 40: 75%
40 out of 50: 80%
40 out of 50 is the better score
Answer:
1/10
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a and b represent the heights of the corresponding buildings (in meters).
... a = b +271 . . . . . . . a is 271 meters taller than b
... 2b -a = 211 . . . . . . if a is subtracted from twice b, the result is 211
Use the expression for a in the first equation to substitute for a in the second.
... 2b - (b+271) = 211
... b = 482 . . . . . . . . . . . simplify and add 271
... a = b +271 = 753
Building a is 753 meters tall; building b is 482 meters tall.
