Answer:

$\boxed{OY = 6.35 m} \\\boxed{AY=19.05 m}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The centroid of a triangle always cuts a triangle perfectly at 2/3.

What I mean by this is that the line that touches the tip of the triangle and touches the median of the base is cut into one third and its other part is cut into two thirds of the whole segment. This segment is AY.

Knowing this, I can tell that OY is 1/3 of the length of AO, which is given to be 12.7 m.

To find OY, make an equation where AO and OY add up to AY.

$12.7+\frac{1}{3} x=x$

The variable x represents the length of AY, and 1/3x represents the length of OY (because it is one-third of AY).

Solve the equation by subtracting 1/3x from both sides.

$12.7=\frac{2}{3} x$

Divide both sides by 2/3.

$x=19.05$

Now we know the length of AY (x). To find the length of OY substitute this value of x into 1/3x, which represents OY.

$\frac{1}{3} (19.05)$

This gives us 6.35, which is the length of OY.

The final answers are:

OY = 6.35 m
AY = 19.05 m

A car left Point A at 7:30 am and arrived at Point B, 162 miles away at 10:30 am. What was its average speed in miles per hour?

Tcecarenko [31]

Let's find the amount of time in between.
3 hours are in between.
The amount of minutes in 3 hours are 180 minutes.
The car travels 162 miles in 180 minutes.
162 miles:180 minutes
x miles : 60 minutes
Let's divide 162 by 3
54 miles : 60 minutes.
It travels an average of 54 miles per hour.

Find four rational number between 1/4 and 2/3.

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

4/12, 5/12, 6/12, 7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 x 3/3 = 3/12

2/3 x 4/4 = 8/12

between 3/12 and 8/12

4/12, 5/12, 6/12, 7/12

you can simplify these if you wish

What is the equation of the line that passes through each pair of points in slope-intercept form?

Ivanshal [37]

First, you need to use the points to come up with a m (slope). To do this you must use the equation m= y2-y1/x2-x1. label the x in one pair of coordinates x1 and the y, y1. Then label the other x in the other pair of coordinates x2 and the y, y2. use the equation and figure the slope. Next, put the easiest coordinates into point-slope form. The equation you are to use is... y-y1=m(x-x1). Input the values and then distribute the m inside the parenthesis. Then you should be able to do the rest. The final product should be in slope-intercept form.

What is 4855/200 simplified

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

The answer is 2427.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The fraction consists of two numbers and a fraction bar: 4,855/200

The number above the bar is called numerator: 4,855

The number below the bar is called denominator: 200

The fraction bar means that the two numbers are dividing themselves.

To get fraction's value divide the numerator by the denominator:

Value = 4,855 ÷ 200

To calculate the greatest common factor, GCF:

1. Build the prime factorizations of the numerator and denominator.

2. Multiply all the common prime factors, by the lowest exponents.

Factor both the numerator and denominator, break them down to prime factors:

Prime Factorization of a number: finding the prime numbers that multiply together to make that number.

4,855 = 5 × 971;

4,855 is a composite number;

In exponential notation:

200 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 × 5 = 23 × 52;

200 is a composite number;
