Answer:
the y coordinate is 5
Step-by-step explanation:
In the figure attached, the directed line segment is shown.
J is located at (-3, 1) and K is located at (-8, 11)
run: x2 -x1 = -8 - (-3) = -5
rise: y2 - y1 = 11 - 1 = 10
Taking J as reference, the coordinate of the point that divides the directed line segment from J to k into a ratio of 2:3 is:
c = 2/(2+3) = 0.4
(x1 + c*run, y1 + c*rise)
(-3 + 0.4*-5, 1+0.4*10)
(-5, 5)
The 2 triangles are congruent
150% of the number 24 is 36.
Hi! I'm happy to help!
To solve this, we first need to look at the perimeter equation:
P=2L+2W
We don't know our length, so we can represent it with x. Since our width is 2 feet shorter than x, we can represent it with x-2. Now, we plug these values into our equation:
56=2x+(2(x-2))
Let's simplify what the width is by multiplying:
56=2x+2x-4
Now, let's combine our 2xs
56=4x-4
Now, we just need to solve for x in order to find our length and width.
First, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation. We can do this by adding 4 to both sides:
56=4x-4
+4 +4
60=4x
Now, all we have to do is divide both sides by 4 and x will be fully isolated:
60=4x
÷4 ÷4
15=x
Now that we know x, let's plug this into our previous equations:
L=x=15
<u>L=15</u>
W=x-2=15-2=13
<u>W=13</u>
To verify our answers, we can plug this into our perimeter equation:
56=2(15)+2(13)
56=30+36
56=56
After double checking our answers, we know that our length is 15 and our width is 13.
I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :D
