Answer:
The dimensions of the park is 18yd by 18yd
Step-by-step explanation:
A square-shaped park has an area of 324 yd.
A square is composed of equal length dimensions so if the area is 324 yd² ,the dimensions or length if one side of the square will be the root of 324 yd².
Length= √324
Length= 18 yd
Dimensions of the park is 18 yd by 18 yd
You can solve this either just plain algebra or with the use of trigonometry.
In this case, we'll just use algebra.
So, if we let M be the the point that partitions the segment into a ratio of 3:2, we have this relation:
KM/ML = 3/2
KM = 1.5 ML
We also have this:
KL = KM + ML
Substituting KM,
KL = (3/2) ML + ML
KL = 2.5 ML
Using the distance formula and the given coordinates of the K and L, we get the length of KL
KL = sqrt ( (5-(-5)^2 + (1-(-4))^2 ) = 5 sqrt(5)
Since,
KL = 2.5 ML
Substituting KL,
ML = (1/2.5) KL = (1/2.5) 5 sqrt(5) = 2 sqrt(5)
Using again the distance formula from M to L and letting (x,y) as the coordinates of the point M
ML = 2 sqrt(5) = sqrt ( (5-x)^2 + (1-y)^2 ) [let this be equation 1]
In order to solve this, we need to find an expression of y in terms of x. We can use the equation of the line KL.
The slope m is:
m = (1-(-4))/(5-(-5) = 0.5
Using the general form of the linear equation:
y = mx +b
We substitue m and the coordinate of K or L. We'll just use K.
-5 = (0.5)(-4) + b
b = -1.5
So equation of the line is
y = 0.5x - 1.5 [let this be equation 2]
Substitute equation 2 to equation 1 and solving for x, we get 2 values of x,
x=1, x=9
Since 9 does not make sense (it does not lie on the line), we choose x=1.
Using the equation of the line, we get y which is -1.
So, we get the coordinates of point M which is (1,-1)
Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
We know x = 6
asked: x + 4
Plus it in =>
6 + 4
=> 10
-10s-3=7
Add 3
-10s= 10
Divide by -10
s= -1
