\text{Let the coordinates of AB are }A(-5,-1), \text{ and }B(-2, -6)\\
\\
\text{let the coordinate of th point C be (x, y), such that}\\
\\
AC:CB=3:7\\
\\
\text{By the section formula, we know that if P(x,y) lies on a line segment AB}\\
\text{where, }A(x_1,y_1), \ B(x_2,y_2)\text{ and satisfy the ratio, }AP:PB=m:n, \text{ then}

P=\left ( \frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n}, \ \frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n} \right ).\\
\\
\text{So using this formula, we get for the given problem}\\
\\
C=\left ( \frac{3(-2)+7(-5)}{3+7}, \ \frac{3(-6)+7(-1)}{3+7} \right )\\
\\
\Rightarrow C=\left ( \frac{-6-35}{10}, \ \frac{-18-7}{10} \right )\\
\\
\Rightarrow C=\left ( \frac{-41}{10}, \ \frac{-25}{10} \right )\\
\\
\Rightarrow C=\left ( -4.1, \ -2.5 \right )

Coordinates of the point C is: (-4.1, -2.5)

A guy wire 30 ft long supports an antenna at a point that is 24 ft above the base of the antenna.
GalinKa [24]
Use Pythagorean Theorem
c2 = a2 + b2
152 = a2 + 12
a2 = 152 - 122
=225 - 144 = 81
a = 9 ft
Distance from base of antenna = 9ft

What is the answer for this question
Ugo [173]

Answer:

1 - 1/10

Step-by-step explanation:

As strange as it may seem, the easiest way to answer this question is to calculate the probability of selecting an elephant first and then to subtract this probability from 1:

Adding up the Numbers of animals, we get 12+4+3+11, or 30.  The probability of selecting an elephant is thus 3/30, or 1/10.

Thus, the probability of NOT selecting an elephant is 1 - 1/10 (Answer A).
