Here's some guidelines to help you:

For 1, 4, 5, and 6, they are 30-60-90 triangles. What's that you may ask? Well, it means that the sides have a predetermined length when one side is given. In #1 for example, you have a side of 11sqrt3, this means that "n" is 11 because in a 30-60-90 triangle, the longer side is the sqrt3 times the length of the shorter side. So to get the shorter side, we divide by sqrt3 to get 11. "m", or the hypotenuse, can be determined by taking twice the length of the shorter side. Since we figured out earlier that the shorter side is 11, 11 times 2 is 22. So the answer for #1 is n=11, m=22.

For 2 and 3, they are 45-45-90 triangles, triangles where the two lengths are the same and the hypotenuse is either leg length times sqrt2. In problem #2 for example, "y" must be 17 because one leg length is 17. "x", or the hypotenuse, is equal to 17sqrt(2) because 17 times sqrt(2).

You can apply all these rules to the other 4 problems I didn't explain.

Hope this long explanation clears your doubts!

In the diagram, point D divides line segment AB in the ratio of 5:3. If line segment AC is vertical and line segment CD is horiz

BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

C (2, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

C has the same x coordinate as A = 2

that eliminates A and B.

and the y value of C has to be closer to the y value of B than to the y value of A (due to the 5:3 ratio).

so, without spending unnecessary effort on actual calculation, we can directly derive the correct answer to be C.

but to show in numbers, the "coordinate triangle" of the difference between D and B is a similar triangle to ACD. and so, the ratio of one side pair applies then to all other sides too. including the individual coordinate differences.

so, also the y difference of A to D relates to the y difference between D and B in the same ratio of 5:3 of the overall y difference of A to B.

the y difference A to B is 2 - -6 = 8

the 5/3 split of 8 units is actually 5 and 3.

so, the y coordinate of D is -6 + 5 = -1

and C must have the same y coordinate.

therefore, it is proven that answer C (2, -1) is the right answer.

What’s the missing factor?

Vesna [10]

The missing factor is 1 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider the missing factor has 'x'

The given expression is 4 1/2 - x = 2 7/8

To find x :

The first step is to bring all the constant terms on on side and x on the other side,

⇒ 4 1/2 - 2 7/8 = x

Now, the numbers are in improper fraction (mixed fraction). So you have to convert them into proper fraction.

To convert the improper fraction 4 1/2 into proper fraction,

Multiply the denominator 2 with 4 and the result 8 is added with the numerator 1.

⇒ 4 1/2 = 9/2.

To convert the improper fraction 2 7/8 into proper fraction,

Multiply the denominator 8 with 2 and the result 16 is added with the numerator 7.

⇒ 2 7/8 = 23/8.

Now replace them in the given expression. The expression becomes as :

⇒ (9/2) - (23/8) = x

Cross multiply 2 and 8,

⇒ (72 - 46) / 16 = x

⇒ 26 / 16 = x

⇒ 13/8 = x

The x value is 13/8. You have to convert it into mixed fraction (since the question is given in the form of mixed fraction).

To convert into mixed fraction,

Divide 13 by 8 and write them in the form of Quotient (Reminder / Divisor).

⇒ 13 ÷ 8

⇒ 1 (quotient)

⇒ 5 (remainder)

The divisor is 8.

Therefore, x = 13/8 can be written as 1 5/8.

The missing factor is 1 5/8.
