Triangle ABC has vertices of A(–8 ,8), B(6, 2), and C(–2, 1). Find the length of the median from C in triangle ABC

1 answer:

4 0

The length of the median from vertex C is equal to √17. As a median of a triangle is a line segment joining a single vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side of the triangle. In this case, the median will be from vertex C to the mid-point of the triangles side AB.<span> Thus, we can work out the length of the median from vertex C by using the Midpoint formula; M(AB) = (X</span>∨1 + X∨2) /2 ; (Y∨1 + Y∨2) /2 . Giving us the points of the midpoint of side AB, which can be plotted on the cartesian plane. to find the length of the median from vertex C, we can use the distance formula and the coordinates of the midpoint and vertex C , d = √(X∨2 - X∨1) ∧2 + (Y∨2 - Y∨1)∧2.

How many bows can you make from 3 2/3 meters if ribbon if a bow takes 1/4 meter of ribbon?

eimsori [14]

3 2/3 = 3.67
1/4=.25
3.67 divided by .25= 14.67
So 14 bows can be made out of 3 2/3 meters of ribbion

Find all the points, if any, where the graph of 12x-5y=0 intersects (x+12)^2+(y-5)^2=169.

WITCHER [35]

I: 12x-5y=0
II:(x+12)^2+(y-5)^2=169

with I:
12x=5y
x=(5/12)y
-> substitute x in II:
((5/12)y+12)^2+(y-5)^2=169
(25/144)y^2+10y+144+y^2-10y+25=169
(25/144)y^2+y^2+10y-10y+144+25=169
(25/144)y^2+y^2+144+25=169
(25/144)y^2+y^2+169=169
(25/144)y^2+y^2=0
y^2=0
y=0

insert into I:
12x=0
x=0

-> only intersection is at (0,0) = option B

Nadia makes a monthly income of $4,000. How much will Nadia have for impulse shopping after she pays all of her bills for the mo

Llana [10]

You add all the percentages up and it will give you 64. take 64 and put it over 100 because percentages as a fraction will always be the amount over a 100.
so its 64/100 multiply by 4000/1. 64*4000= 256000 over 100. 256000 divided by 100 = 2560

$2560

The open tray shown in the illustration is to be manufactured from a 18-by-19-inch rectangular sheet of metal by cutting squares

defon

Answer: You should cut out squares that are 4 inches by 4 inches.

One of the ways to do this problem is write and graph an equation. We can write an equation for the volume of this shape and then use a graphing calculator to graph it. If we look where the graph crosses 440, we will have our solution.

The volume needs to be 440. If we let x equal the side of the square that is cut out, we have the following dimensions.

Length = 19 - 2x
Width = 18 - 2x
Height = x

Volume = LWH

So our equation could be: y = (19 - 2x)(18 - 2x)x

If you graph that equation, it will intersect at the point (4, 440). Therefore, our square could be 4 by 4 inches.
