Refer to the graph shown below. It confirms that points A, B and P are
 collinear.

Calculate the length of AP (as a).
a = √[(6 - 2)² + (11 - 3)²]
   = 8.9443

Calculate the length of BP (as b).
b = √[(8 - 6)² + (15 - 11)²]
   = 4.4721

Calculate ratio a/b.
a/b = 8.9443/4.4721 = 2
Therefore P partitions AB in a 2:1 ratio so that AP = 2*BP.

Answer:  2:1 ratio.

Which of the following ( 15, 20, 30, 57 ) is the product of exactly three different prime numbers?
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

15=3*5, so it's not 15

20=2*2*5, so it's not 20

30=2*3*5, so it's 30

57=19*3, so it's not 57

Mildred bought 2-cent stamps, 4-cent stamps, and 5-cent stamps for $4.35. The number of 2-cent stamps exceeded the number of 5 c
vfiekz [6]

5 cent = 0.05x

<span><span>2 cent  </span>= 0.02(x+50)</span>

4 cent = 0.04(2x-10)

 

0.05x + 0.02(x+50) + 0.04(2x-10)

0.05x + 0.02x +1 + 0.08x -0.4 = 4.35

0.15x +0.6 = 4.35

0.15x = 3.75

X = 3.75 / 0.15 = 25

<span> 25 5 cent stamps ( 25*0.05 = 1.25)</span>

25+50 = 75 2 cent stamps ( 75*0.02 = 1.50)

2*25 =50-10 = 40 4 cent stamps ( 40*0.04 =1.60)

 

1.25 + 1.50 +1.60 = 4.35

5 cent = 25

2 cent = 75

4 cent = 40

A ____ of a triangle is the perpendicular segment from a vertex to the opposite side or to the line that contains the opposite s
blagie [28]

Answer:

Altitude

Step-by-step explanation:

An altitude of the triangle is the line segment from a vertex to the opposite side and perpendicular to the opposite side. The orthocenter will not always be inside the triangle. This is why the orthocenter is the point of concurrency of the lines containing the altitudes rather than just the altitudes.
