Check the picture below.

now, keep in mind that, a median, comes out of the vertices, and cuts the opposite side in two equal halves, thus is called a median.

now, there are 3 vertices, there are 3 medians, now they all meet at the centroid.

when they meet, the centroid cuts each median in a 2:1 ratio, so one side is twice as long as the small one.

with that in mind, we know ST = 74, therefore XT is just one of the halves, 74/2.

we know TW = 51, and we know the centroid cuts it in a 2:1 ratio, so if we divide 51 by 3, 2 pieces go to TZ and 1 piece to ZW.  51/3 = 17, so TZ takes 2 of those pieces or 17+17.

well, you know what ZW gets by now anyway.

we know RZ = 42, and we also know because of the 2:1 ratio, RZ is twice as large as XZ, so XZ is half of RZ, or 42/2.

we know ZY = 23, and because of the 2:1 ratio, we know ZY is smaller piece so SZ is twice as large, so SZ is 23*2.  Therefore SY is just ZY + SZ.

Help me plsss....

Answer:

If it took the motorcycle 2 hours to cover 20km, then the average speed is 10km per hour.

Speed is equal to distance over time. So 20km divided by 2 hours is 10 km per hour.

Gordon types 3,024 words in 42 minutes. Find the unit rate.
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

72 words per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{1}{y}= \frac{42}{3024}

42 × y = 1 × 3024

42y = 3024

42y ÷ 42 = 3024 ÷ 42

y = 72

Please make Y=x+12 and 4x+2y=27 into one equation.
tiny-mole [99]
So what you need to start with is taking the x from both sides as adding 12 to them. Then, you move the 27 over 4 decimals.

1. Rational numbers can be written as a ratio (fraction)
Whole numbers are rational. 5 = 5/1, for example.
Square roots are NOT rational.  Example: √3
However, square roots of square numbers can be simplified, and are therefore rational. <span>√4 = 2, rational.</span>

√4 + <span>√16 = 2 + 4 = 6. rational
</span>√5 + √36...<span> irrational
</span>√9 + <span>√24... irrational
</span>2 × <span>√4 = 2 × 2 = 4. rational
</span>√49 × <span>√81 = 7 × 9 = 63. rational
</span>3√12... irrational

2. n^\frac12=\sqrtn
9^\frac32=9^3\times\frac12=\sqrt{9^3}=\sqrt{729}=29

3. \frac{n^a}{n^b}=n^{a-b}

\frac{a^\frac13}{a^\frac14}=a^{\frac13-\frac14}=a^{\frac{1}{12}}

4. n^\frac1x=\sqrt[x]n

\sqrt[3]{m^2n^5}=m^{\frac23}n^{\frac53}

5. \sqrt{a}\times\sqrt{b}=\sqrt{ab}

\sqrt{3}\times\sqrt{12}=\sqrt{3\times12}=\sqrt{36}=6

A, since neither 3 nor 12 is a square but we end up with 6.
