Answer:

m=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Point C(x_3,y_3)=(-6,m) divides the join of point A(x_1,y_1)=(-3,-1) and point B(x_2,y_2)=(8,9)

Let the line AB divides by Point C in a ratio m:n=k:1

Then, Using section formula   (x_3,y_3)=\frac{x_1n+x_2m}{m+n},\frac{y_1n+y_2m}{m+n}

Applying formula,

x_3,y_3=\frac{x_1n+x_2m}{m+n},\frac{y_1n+y_2m}{m+n}

x_3,y_3=\frac{-8k-3}{k+1},\frac{9k-1}{k+1}

But, x_3=-6

Therefore,  x_3=\frac{-8k-3}{k+1}

-6=\frac{-8k-3}{k+1}

-6k-6=-8k-3

2k-3=0

k=\frac{3}{2}

Therefore, C divides line AB in 3:2

Now,  m=\frac{9k-1}{k+1}  where, k=3/2

m=\frac{9\frac{3}{2}-1}{\frac{3}{2}+1}

m=\frac{\frac{25}{2}}{\frac{5}{2}}

m=\frac{25\times2}{2\times5}

m=5

Answer:

Ratio = 3 : 2 and value of m = 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the end points ( -3,-1 ) and ( -8,9 ) of a line and a point P = ( -6,m ) divides this line in a particular ratio.

Let us assume that it cuts the line in k : 1 ratio.

Then, the co-ordinates of P = ( \frac{-8k-3}{k+1},\frac{9k-1}{k+1} ).

But, \frac{-8k-3}{k+1} = -6

i.e. -8k-3 = -6k-6

i.e. -2k = -3

i.e. k = \frac{3}{2}

So, the ratio is k : 1 i.e \frac{3}{2} : 1 i.e. 3 : 2.

Hence, the ratio in which P divides the line is 3 : 2.

Also, \frac{9k-1}{k+1} = m where k = \frac{3}{2}

i.e. m = \frac{\frac{9 \times 3}{2}-1}{\frac{3}{2}-1}

i.e. m = \frac{27-2}{3+2}

i.e. m = \frac{25}{5}

i.e. m = 5.

Hence, the value of m is 5.

An astronaut is working on a satellite 200 miles above the ground. What is the measure of BD⌢, the portion of Earth that the ast
natulia [17]

Answer:

420 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

You would have to be infinitely far away from a sphere in order to see exactly 50% of its surface all at the same moment. Using simple geometry, you can prove that an observer that is a distance d away from the surface of a sphere with radius R can only see a percent area A of the sphere's surface as given by the equation:

A = 50%/(1+R/d)

Where A is the area seen,

R is the earth's radius 4000 miles

And D is the distance above the earth 200 miles

50% = 0.5 in fraction

Substituting values we have

A = 0.5(1 + 4000/200)

A = 0.5(1 + 20) = 0.5 x 21

A = 10.5%

10.5% of 4000 miles = 420 miles.

Answer:

Unit rate miles per day is, 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit rate are defined as the rate are expressed as quantity of 1 such that 2 miles per hour or 5 km per hour.

As per the given statement: A construction crew built 1/2 miles of road in 1/6 days

by unit rate definition;

After substituting the given values we have

⇒  

or

Therefore, unit rate miles per day is, 3

A right triangle ABC is shown. Leg AC has length 18, leg BC has length 24, and hypotenuse AB has length 30. Find the exact value
Tresset [83]
Although there i no triangle given as the question requires, I am still going to answer because I understand it.

ABC is a right angled triangle. The triangle is 90° at C.

The trigonometric ratio sine is given by, sine = opposite/hypotenuse .
Cosine = adjacent/hypotenuse
 
So therefore, Sin A = 24/30
                               = 4/5

                     Cos A = 18/30
                               = 3/5
