Answer:

The ratio of AC to CB is 1.677 to 5.03

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Finding the distance of AC

By using distance formula

$AC = \sqrt{(x_2 -x_1)^2 + (y_2 -y_1)^2}$

Substituting the values

$AC = \sqrt{(1.5 -0)^2 + (0.75 -0)^2}$

$AC = \sqrt{(1.5 )^2 + (0.75)^2}$

$AC = \sqrt{2.25 +0.5625 }$

$AC = \sqrt{2.8125 }$

AC= 1.677

Step 2: Finding the distance of CB

$CB = \sqrt{(6 - 1.5)^2 + (3 - 0.75)^2}$

Substituting the values

$CB = \sqrt{(4.5)^2 + (2.25)^2}$

$CB = \sqrt{(20.25) + (5.0625)}$

$CB = \sqrt{25.3125}$

CB = 5.03

The Ratio is 1.677 to 5.03

Answer:

m=2/3, b=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rise over run method, you can count from two points. Also since this line is positive. The b is found by seeing where the line crosses the y axis. It crosses at 4.

A discuss moves from P1 (4,8) to P2 (15,17). What is the lincar displacement in the horizontal and vertical directions? What is

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

The horizontal displacement is 11 units, the vertical displacement is 9 units, and the projection angle is 39.3 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start using the definition of displacement in one dimension between any 2 points which is the difference between them, so we have

$\Delta s = s_2-s_1$

And apply it to get the horizontal and vertical displacements.

Once we have found them, we can use trigonometric functions to find the projection angle with respect the horizontal.

Linear displacements.

Using the definition of displacement, we can write the horizontal displacement as

$\Delta x = x_2-x_1$

So we can use the given points $P1:(x_1,y_2) \text{ and } P_2: (x_2,y_2)$ on the displacement formula

$\Delta x = 15-4\\\Delta x = 11$

In the same manner we can look at the y components of those points to find the vertical displacement

$\Delta y = 17-8\\\Delta y =9$

Thus the horizontal displacement is 11 units and the vertical displacement is 9 units.

Projection angle.

The projection angle with respect the horizontal is the angle that is made between the line that connects the points P1 and P2 and the horizontal, so we can use the linear displacements previously found to write

$\tan(\theta) = \cfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}$

Solving for the angle we get

$\theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\cfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}\right)$

Replacing values

$\theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\cfrac{9}{11}\right)$

Which give us

$\theta = 39.3^\circ$

So the projection angle is 39.3 degrees.

I need help on number 8 please

Well, the area of a trapezoid is A = ( $b_{1}$ + $b_{2}$ ) * h * 1/2 so you can use the area of a parallelogram, which is A = l * w, by splitting the trapezoid into 2 triangles and one rectangle. So you'd use A = l * w for the rectangle and A = 1/2bh for the triangles. You'd get the same answer!
