Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

a) X would be marked 2 cm away from point A towards the point B

b) X would be marked 1.5 cm away from point P towards the point Q

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Length of AB = 6 cm

Length of PQ = 6 cm

a) AX : AB 1 : 3

This means

on substituting the value of AB, we get

or

AX =

or

AX = 2 cm

Hence,

X would be marked 2 cm away from point A towards the point B

b) PX: XQ 1 :3

This means

or

⇒ 3PX = XQ   .............(1)

also,

PX + XQ = PQ

or

PX + XQ = 6 cm

substituting the value of XQ from (1)

PX + 3PX = 6 cm

or

4PX = 6 cm

or

PX =

or

PX = 1.5 cm

Hence,

X would be marked 1.5 cm away from point P towards the point Q

Answer:

a) X would be marked 2 cm away from point A towards the point B

b) X would be marked 1.5 cm away from point P towards the point Q

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Length of AB = 6 cm

Length of PQ = 6 cm

a) AX : AB 1 : 3

This means

\frac{AX}{AB}=\frac{1}{3}

on substituting the value of AB, we get

\frac{AX}{6\ cm}=\frac{1}{3}

or

AX = \frac{6}{3}\ cm

or

AX = 2 cm

Hence,

X would be marked 2 cm away from point A towards the point B

b) PX: XQ 1 :3

This means

\frac{PX}{XQ}=\frac{1}{3}

or

⇒ 3PX = XQ   .............(1)

also,

PX + XQ = PQ

or

PX + XQ = 6 cm

substituting the value of XQ from (1)

PX + 3PX = 6 cm

or

4PX = 6 cm

or

PX = \frac{6}{4}\ cm

or

PX = 1.5 cm

Hence,

X would be marked 1.5 cm away from point P towards the point Q

What is the difference, in meters, between the length of the longest line and the length of the shortest line?
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Range = 3.169m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for complete question

Required

Determine the difference between the shortest and the longest

This question implies that we calculate the range.

Range = Longest - Shortest

From the table, we have:

Longest = 8.7m

Shortest = 5.531m

So, we have:

Range = 8.7m- 5.531m

Range = 3.169m

how will the appearance of a histogram change if u use many small intervals instead of a few large intervals
ss7ja [257]
The appearance will be quite long and crowded if you use small intervals, and if you use larger intervals, the histogram will turn out shorter and a lot less crowded.
