Answer:

7 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Oak tree = x

14 : x as 60 : 30

Simplify the right ratio

14 : x as 2:1

Get the same first number in both ratios by multiplying 2:1 by 7

14 : x as 2(7) + 1(7)

14 : x as 14 : 7

Since the first number in each ratio is the same, we know that that x and 7 are equal

x = 7

Hope this helps, feel free to let me know if you would like a further explanation :)

Find the coordinates of the missing endpoint if P is the midpoint of Line Segment NQ.

dimaraw [331]

Midpoint formula is $(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$ .

So starting with this one, we will be solving for the coordinates of the unknown endpoint separately. Starting with the x-coordinate, since we know that the midpoint x-coordinate is 5 and the x-coordinate of N is 2, our equation is set up as such: $\frac{x+2}{2}=5$ From here we can solve for the x-coordinate of Q.

Firstly, multiply both sides by 2: $x+2=10$

Next, subtract both sides by 2 and your x-coordinate is $x=8$

With finding the y-coordinate, it's a similar process as with the x-coordinate except that we are using the y-coordinates of the midpoint and endpoint N.

$\frac{y+0}{2}=2\\ y=4$
