What is the ratio in which the point P(3/4,5/12) decides the line segment joining points A(1/2,3/2) and B(2,-5)

timama [110]

Given:

The point $P\left(\dfrac{3}{4},\dfrac{5}{12}\right)$ divides the line segment joining points $A\left(\dfrac{1}{2},\dfrac{3}{2}\right)$ and $B(2,-5)$ .

To find:

The ratio in which he point P divides the segment AB.

Solution:

Section formula: If a point divides a segment in m:n, then the coordinates of that point are,

$Point=\left(\dfrac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\dfrac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}\right)$

Let point P divides the segment AB in m:n. Then by using the section formula, we get

$\left(\dfrac{3}{4},\dfrac{5}{12}\right)=\left(\dfrac{m(2)+n(\dfrac{1}{2})}{m+n},\dfrac{m(-5)+n(\dfrac{3}{2})}{m+n}\right)$

$\left(\dfrac{3}{4},\dfrac{5}{12}\right)=\left(\dfrac{2m+\dfrac{n}{2}}{m+n},\dfrac{-5m+\dfrac{3n}{2}}{m+n}\right)$

On comparing both sides, we get

$\dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{2m+\dfrac{n}{2}}{m+n}$

$\dfrac{3}{4}(m+n)=\dfrac{4m+n}{2}$

Multiply both sides by 4.

$3(m+n)=2(4m+n)$

$3m+3n=8m+2n$

$3n-2n=8m-3m$

$n=5m$

It can be written as

$\dfrac{1}{5}=\dfrac{m}{n}$

$1:5=m:n$

Therefore, the point P divides the line segment AB in 1:5.

What is the area of the composite figure? (use 3.14 for pi). Explain how you arrived at your answer. Please round to the nearest

maksim [4K]

The area of the given diagram is 29.817 square centimeters. The given diagram is combination of rectangle and semi circle.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is,

Given diagram is combination of Rectangle and Semi circle.

Step:1

Res the attachment,

Area of given diagram = Area of A + Area of B..............(1)

Step:2

For A,

The A section in the given diagram is semi circle,

Diameter of semi circle = Total distance - ( 2+3)

( ∵ 2, 3 are top distance in the given diagram)

$= 10 - 5$

Diameter, d = 5 cm

Radius, $r = \frac{d}{2}$

$r = \frac{5}{2}$

r = 2.5 cm

Area, $A_{A} = \frac {\pi r^{2} }{2}$ ........................(2)

$A_{A} = \frac {\pi (2.5)^{2} }{2}$

$= \frac {\pi ( 6.25) }{2}$

$= \frac{19.63}{2}$

$A_{A} = 9.8174 cm^{2}$

Step:3

For B,

Area of rectangle is,

$A_{B} =lb$ .....................(3)

Where, l - Length = 10 cm

b - Width = 2 cm

Equation (3) become,

$= (10)(2)$

$= 20$

Area of B, $A_{B}$ = 20 $cm^{2}$

Step:4

From the equation (1),

Area of given diagram = 20+ 9.81747

Area = 29.817 square centimeters

Result:

The area of the given diagram is 29.817 square centimeters. The given diagram is combination of rectangle and semi circle.
