The ratio would need to be 1:1 in order to split the line in half. Think of it like having two cookies. If you split those cookies between you and your friend, then you get 1 and s/he gets the other. So the ratio of your cookie count to your friend's count is 1:1

With the ratio 1:2, you would have 1 cookie while your friend has 2 cookies. This is no longer a fair split. Things are not 50/50 anymore. You have 1/3 of the cookies while your friend has 2/3 of the cookies. Your friend would have twice as much.

So that applies to the segment lengths as well. The line segment would be split up into two parts A and B. Part A is the smaller segment that is half as long as part B. Or put another way, part B is twice as long as part A

STatiana [176]
If angleb is 120 then AC is 120*2 = 240. 360-240 = 120 , 120/2 = 60 . If AB = 60 , angle adb is 30 and angle bdc is 30. DB is 2 * radius because angleA is 90. So with Pisagor AB = 3 , BC = 3 , AD = 3root3 and DC is 3root3.

Answer is = 6+6root3 = 6(1 + root3)

The equation x2 − xy + y2 = 3 represents a "rotated ellipse," that is, an ellipse whose axes are not parallel to the coordinate
Setler [38]

Answer:

the points where the ellipse crosses the x- axis are (1.73, 0) and (-1.73, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the points at which a graphic crosses the x-axis we need to find the values for x where y = 0.

Therefore, in the equation x²- xy + y² = 3 we are going to make y = 0 and solve for x

x² - xy + y² = 3

x²- x(0) + (0)² = 3

x² = 3

x = ±√3

x₁ = 1.73 and x₂ = -1.73

Therefore, the points where the ellipse crosses the x- axis are (1.73, 0) and (-1.73, 0)
