Calcilate the averages of the coordinates

(4,6) (8,10)

4+8=12 12/2=6 x=6

6+10=16 16/2=8 y=8 midpoint=(6,8)

To find the midpoint of a line segment, you just calculate the averages of the coordinates! The Midpoint Formula: The midpoint of two points, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is the point M found by the following formula:
M= ([x^1+x^2]/2, [y^1+y^2]/2). I hope this helped!

Solve for p: 3/8 +p/8= 3 1/8

Ivenika [448]

Solve for p:
p/8 + 3/8 = 25/8
p/8 + 3/8 = (p + 3)/8:
(p + 3)/8 = 25/8

Multiply both sides of (p + 3)/8 = 25/8 by 8:
(8 (p + 3))/8 = (8×25)/8
(8×25)/8 = (8×25)/8:
(8 (p + 3))/8 = (8×25)/8
(8 (p + 3))/8 = 8/8×(p + 3) = p + 3:p + 3 = (8×25)/8
(8×25)/8 = 8/8×25 = 25:
p + 3 = 25

Subtract 3 from both sides:
p + (3 - 3) = 25 - 3
3 - 3 = 0:
p = 25 - 3
25 - 3 = 22:
Answer: p = 22

A 57-inch television screen has an aspect ratio of 4:3. Find the scale factor (x), find the length and width, and calculate the

natulia [17]

tv-sets are rated by the screen size and the screen size comes from the length of its diagonal.

so a 57" TV has a 57" diagonal.

Check the picture below.

$\bf \stackrel{length}{4\left( \cfrac{57}{5} \right)}\implies \cfrac{228}{5}\implies 45\frac{3}{5}~\hfill \stackrel{width}{3\left( \cfrac{57}{5} \right)}\implies \cfrac{171}{5}\implies 34\frac{1}{5} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ \stackrel{Area}{\cfrac{228}{5}\cdot \cfrac{171}{5}}\implies \cfrac{38988}{25}\implies 1559\frac{13}{25}$
