Find the area of the trapezoid answers 30 , 60 , 90 , 120

Pls can someone help me with this, and please explain why?

kolezko [41]

C is the correct answer. It can’t be D because negative can’t be under radical.

Hope this helps!

A point M on a segment with endpoints X(1, −2) and Y(10, 3) partitions the segment in a 4:1 ratio. Find M. You must show all wor

kow [346]

Answer:

(8.2,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

4:1 ratio means XY divided into 5 equal sections. (5 = 4+1)

4:1 ratio means (4/(4+1))

4:1 ratio means (4/5)

2.

4:1 ratio means M is 4/5 of the way from the initial point X(1, −2)

3.

get the x and y distances between (1, −2) and (10, 3)

x2-x1=9

y2-y1=5

4.

since initial point is (1, −2)

you add 1 to the new x value and

you add -2 to the new y value

ANSWERS:

x-coordinate of M = 1 + (4/5)(9) = 1 + 7.2 = 8.2

y-coordinate of M = -2 + (4/5)(5) = -2 + 4 = 2

As we move along XY from X to Y,

x increases by 9 and

y increases by 5

M is the point on XY that is 4/5 of the way from X to Y.

M is 4/5 of the distance from (1,-2) to (10,3).

To find M x and y coordinates 4/5 of distance between (x1,y1) and (x2,y2):

To find M x and y coordinates 4/5 of distance between (1,-2) and (10,3):

x-coordinate of M = 1 + (4/5)(9) = 1 + 7.2 = 8.2

y-coordinate of M = -2 + (4/5)(5) = -2 + 4 = 2

Can someone explain HOW to simplify this algebraic fraction, as in tell me why and what I need to do for each step : 1-n/n^2-1

Andreyy89

- I’m assuming the expression implies the following:

(1-n)/(n^2 - 1)

The steps goes as follows:

= -(n-1)/(n^2-1) (factored a negative out)
= -(n-1)/[(n+1)(n-1)] (Factored denominator into a difference of squares, but don’t just blindly accept the fact, expand it and you should get the original denominator)

At this point, the (n-1) terms cancel, as you should know: a real number, besides 0, over itself is 1.

= -1/(n+1) , which is the answer

Note: You could also see it as 1/-(n+1) or 1/(-n-1)

valina [46]

Both of the fractions can be added since they both have 8 as the denominator 3/8+5/8=8/8 which is a whole.

A car traveled 360 km in 6 h. A train traveled 400 km in 8 h. A boat traveled 375 km in 5 h. Which has the fastest average speed

Nataliya [291]

First, it is important to know that speed is equal to distance divided by time. I took a picture of my work. Let me know if you still have questions or cannot read something I've written. Thank you!

The most Kilometers traveled per one hour was traveled by THE BOAT at 75 Km/h. Therefore, the boat had the fastestaverage speed.
