Answer:

<h3>Q cuts the diagonal PA into 2 equal halves, since the diagonals of rhombus meet at right angles.</h3><h3>The value of x is 8.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Quadrilateral CAMP below is a rhombus. the length PQ is (x+2) units, and the length of QA is (3x-14) units

From the given Q is the middle point, which cut the diagonal PA into 2 equal halves.

By the definition of rhombus, diagonals meet at right angles.

Implies that PQ = QA

x+2 = 3x - 14

x-3x=-14-2

-2x=-16

2x = 16

dividing by 2 on both sides, we will get,

x =\frac{16}{2}

<h3>∴ x=8</h3><h3>Since Q cuts the diagonal PA into 2 equal halves, since the diagonals of rhombus meet at right angles we can equate x+2 = 3x-14 to find the value of x.</h3>

The line segment \overrightarrow{PA}=\overrightarrow{PQ}+\overrightarrow{QA}

\overrightarrow{PA}=x+2+3x-14

=4x-12

=4(8)-12 ( since x=8)

=32-12

=20

<h3>∴ \overrightarrow{PA}=20 units</h3>

Answer:

The third choice

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the slope and y-intercept of the line and then put it into y = mx = b form. To find the slope, pick a point on the line; I will use (-2, 5); count how many units up you need to go to get to the next point on the line, which in this case it would be 3. The count how many to the right or left you would need to go, which is 1 to the left. Moving left means a negative, so it is -1. Your slope fraction would be \frac{3}{-1} , since slope is rise over run. You can sub this fraction in for m in y = mx + b, which will give you a revised equation of y = -3x = b. To find the y intercept, or b, just find the point where the line crosses the y-axis, which is -1. So, the equation is now y = -3x - 1.The correct answer is third choice.

The sum of two numbers is 15. four times the smaller number is 60 less than twice the larger number. what is the larger number?
kirza4 [7]
X = smaller number, y = larger number
x + y = 15.....x = 15 - y
4x = 2y - 60

4(15 - y) = 2y - 60
60 - 4y = 2y - 60
60 + 60 = 2y + 4y
120 = 6y
120/6 = y
20 = y <==== larger number is 20

x + y = 15
x + 20 = 15
x = 15 - 20
x = - 5

Answer:

<em>The gold vein is  96 miles away from the farthest gold dust strike.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Distance Between two Points in the Plane </u>

Given two points A(x,y) and B(w,z), the distance between them is:

d=\sqrt{(z-y)^2+(w-x)^2}

The prospector positioned the gold vein at  (-2,9) and the farthest gold dust strike at (94,9). We are required to calculate the distance between these two points. Use the formula:

d=\sqrt{(9-9)^2+(94-(-2))^2}

d=\sqrt{0^2+96^2}

d=\sqrt{96^2}=96

The distance is 96 units, but we know each unit on the graph represents 1 mile, thus the gold vein is 96 miles away from the farthest gold dust strike.
