The triangle is drawn and is shown in the image attached with.

We get two similar triangles. Triangle ABC and Triangle ADE. Since the triangles are similar the ratio of their corresponding sides will be the same.

D and E are the midpoints of AB and BC, therefore, AD and AE are both 4 units in length. Using the property of similar triangles, we can say:

AD : DE= AB : BC
AD = 4 units
AB = 8 units
BC = 6 units
DE = unknown = x units

So,

$4 :x = 8 : 6 \\ \\ 
 \frac{4}{x} = \frac{8}{6} \\ \\ 
x=4* \frac{6}{8}=3 
$

Therefore, the length of DE will be 3 units

If in drawing your vector you are required to use a scale such that 25 grams represent 1 cm, and if your resultant vector measur

Aleks04 [339]

If we multiply the ratio

... 25 g : 1 cm

by 5, we get

... 125 g : 5 cm

The number on the left is 75 g more than 50 g.
