Given:
The point
divides the line segment joining points
and
.
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,

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


On comparing both sides, we get


Multiply both sides by 4.




It can be written as


Therefore, the point P divides the line segment AB in 1:5.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Actually, when dividing fractions, you always flip the second fraction and multiply, no matter the size of the numerator or denominator.
The answer & explanation for this question is given in the attachment below.
8/12 is equivalent to 2/3.
The arc length (s) is given in terms of the radius (r) and central angle (θ) by
s = r*θ . . . . . . . where θ is in radians
For your arc, the length is
s = (15 ft)*(π/4) ≈ 11.78 ft
_____
45° can be converted to radians by multiplying by π/180°.
45° * (π/180°) = π*(45/180) = π/4 . . . . radians
