Given that Z is the centroid of a triangle RST. This means that Z is the point of intersection of the three medians of the triangle.

So,W is the midpoint of RSV is the midpoint of RTWe are given that:RV = 4x + 3 and VT = 2x + 9

Since V is the midpoint, then:RV = VT4x + 3 = 2x + 94x - 2x = 9 - 32x = 6x = 3

Now put the value of x in WS = 5x-1WS = 5x-1WS = 5(3) - 1 WS = 15 - 1 = 14WS = 14

Since W is the midpoint of RS, therefore RW = WSand WS = 14Therefore:
RW = 14

What is the measure of angle 4??? please help asap!!!
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
<h3>Answer: 80 degrees</h3>

===========================================================

Explanation:

Angle 3 and the 100 degree angle are corresponding angles. They are both in the southeast quadrant of their four-corner angle configuration. Assuming the lines that look horizontal are parallel, this would mean angle 3 is 100 degrees. Recall that corresponding angles are congruent when we have parallel lines.

Once we know that angle 3 = 100, we will use this to find angle 4.

Angles 3 and 4 add to 180. They form a straight angle or straight line.

(angle3)+(angle4) = 180

(100) + (angle4) = 180

angle4 = 180-100

angle4 = 80 degrees

What interest is needed to earn $137.50 on a deposit of $500 for five years if it earns simple interest?
sineoko [7]

Answer:

5.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Simple interest =  $137.50

Principal= $500

time = 5 years

We want to find the rate  R

Simple interest= PRT/100

137.50 = 500*R*5/100

137.50=2500R/100

cross multiply

137.5*100= 2500R

13750= 2500R

divide both sides by 2500

R= 13750/2500

R=5.5%

Hence the rate is 5.5%

What are the domain restrictions of a + 1 / a^2-5a-36?
velikii [3]
All real numbers except -4 and 9.    

The domain of an expression is the range of all values for which the expression is defined. Looking at the expression, it will legal everywhere except when a^2 - 5a - 36 is equal to 0. Since that's a quadratic equation, we can use the quadratic formula to find where its value is 0, giving -4 and 9.    

Therefore the domain of the expression is, All real numbers except -4 and 9.

Alan bought 20 yards of fencing. He used 5.9 yards in one garden and 10.3 in another. Write remaining as a fraction in simplest
Over [174]
Its 3.8 because if you add 5.9 and 10.3 is 16.2, and if you subtract it by 20, it should equal 3.8.
