Answer:

Three points are collinear if they belong to the same line. Also if their Determinant equals zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose we have A (-6, 2) B(-3,-1) and D(-5, 1). Are they collinear?

Well, let's plug in the values in a Matrix and then calculate its Determinant this way:

Plug ig the values for x, y and complete it with 1 in the 3rd column.

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}x&y&1\\&&1\\&&1\end{array}\right]$

Applying:

Det= $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-6&2&1\\-3&-1&1\\-5&1&1\end{array}\right]$ =0

Doing the calculation, the Determinant equals zero, what gives us an Analytical Geometry proof of its collinearity.

If they are in the same line yes. If they aren't then its considered non-collinear.

IF Q is the midpoint of PR, find the coordinates of R if P(11,-2) and Q(4,3). Write your answer in (x,y) format.

barxatty [35]

Answer:

The coordinates of R is (-3,8)

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the midpoint of a line segment is;

(x,y) = (x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2

In this case, we have (x,y) = (4,3)

and we also have (x1,y1) = (11,-2)

what we do not have is (x2,y2)

From the question, we have that;

(11 + x2)/2 = 4

11 + x2 = 2(4)

11 + x2 = 8

x2 = 8-11

x2 = -3

Also;

(-2 + y2)/2 = 3

-2 + y2 = 2(3)

-2 + y2 = 6

y2 = 6 + 2

y2 = 8

So the coordinates of R is (-3,8)

How many 1/3 cups blueberry can you get out of the 4/5 cup..

= (4/5) / (1/3)
= (4/5)*(3/1)
= 12/5
= 2 2/5 batches

Find the volume of a right circular cone that has a height of 12.2 cm and a base with a circumference of 18.5 cm. Round your ans

grin007 [14]

We have been given that a right circular cone has a height of 12.2 cm and a base with a circumference of 18.5 cm. We are asked to find the volume of the cone to nearest tenth.

We know that circumference of circle is equal to $2\pi r$ .

$2\pi r=18.5$

$r=\frac{18.5}{2\pi}$

$r=2.944366$

Now we will use volume of the cone formula to solve our given problem.

$V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h$

$V=\frac{1}{3}\pi (2.944366)^2\cdot (12.2)$

$V=\frac{1}{3}\pi (8.669291141956)\cdot (12.2)$

$V=\frac{1}{3}\pi (105.7653519318632)$

$V=\frac{1}{3}(332.2716526334804752)$

$V=110.7572175$

Upon rounding to nearest tenth, we will get:

$V\approx 110.8$

Therefore, the volume of the given cube would be approximately 110.8 cubic centimeter.
