Points P and Q belong to segment AB . If AB = a, AP = 2PQ = 2QB, find the distance: midpoints between AP QB

Answer: The distace between midpoints of AP and QB is \frac{a}{8}.

Step-by-step explanation: Points P and Q are between points A and B and the segment AB measures a, then:

AP + PQ + QB = a

According to the question, AP = 2 PQ = 2QB, so:

PQ = \frac{AP}{2}

QB = \frac{AP}{2}

Substituing:

AP + 2*(\frac{AP}{2}) = a

2AP = a

AP = \frac{a}{2}

Since the distance is between midpoints of AP and QB:

2QB = AP

QB = \frac{AP}{2}

QB = \frac{a}{2}*\frac{1}{2}

QB = \frac{a}{4}

MIdpoint is the point that divides the segment in half, so:

<u>Midpoint of AP</u>:

\frac{AP}{2} = \frac{a}{2}*\frac{1}{2}

\frac{AP}{2} = \frac{a}{4}

<u>Midpoint of QB</u>:

\frac{QB}{2} = \frac{a}{4}*\frac{1}{2}

\frac{QB}{2} = \frac{a}{8}

The distance is:

d = \frac{a}{4} - \frac{a}{8}

d = \frac{a}{8}

Answer:

V candle ≈ 196.9 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of cone = ( π·r²·h)/3

V candle = V big cone -V small cone

V candle = [ π·4²·(8+5) - π·2²·5]/3

V candle = ( π·16·13 - π·4·5)/3

V candle = (π·16·13 - π·4·5)/3

V candle = π·(208 - 20)/3

V candle = π·188/3

V candle = 196.8731396

V candle ≈ 196.9 cm³

Answer:

<u>Fred.</u>

Started hang gliding at a height of 700 ft and descends 15 feet every seconds

<u>Gene</u>

Started hang gliding at a height of 575 ft and descends 10 feet every seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The function that models Fred's hang gliding is f(x)=-15x+700

The initial value is 700 feet. This Fred was 700 feet above see level before he starts descending.

The rate of descent is -15 ft/s. This means Fred descends 15 feet in one second.

From the table the initial height is 575 ft. This means Gene was 575 feet above sea-level at the beginning of the hang gliding.

The rate of descent is \frac{565-575}{1-0} =-10 ft/s.

This means that in every seconds, Gene descends 10 feet.
