How do I find the answers to 17, 19, and 20?

Mathematics

Irina18 [472]3 years ago

Answer:

17. 6

18. 18 (as shown)

19. 10/3 = 3 1/3

20. 20/3 = 6 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

17. For this, you can subtract the given length GB=12 from the length you found for problem 18, BF=18. Doing that tells you FG = 18-12 = 6, as you have marked on the diagram.

19. As with median BF, the point G divides it into two parts that have the ratio 1:2. The distance from G to D is the shorter of the distances, so you have ...

... GD = (1/3) CD = (1/3)·10 = 10/3

... GD = 3 1/3

20. You can subtract GD from CD to get CG, or you can multiply CD by 2/3. The result is the same either way.

... CG = CD -GD = 10 -3 1/3

... CG = 6 2/3

_____

<em>Comment on centroid and median</em>

The centroid (G) divides each median into parts in the ratio 1:2. Hence the shorter of those parts is half the length of the longer one, or 1/3 the total length of the median.

The longer of the parts is double the length of the shorter one, or 2/3 the total length of the median.

Your marking of median BF seems to show an understanding of these relationships. (Total length: 18; length of parts: 6 and 12.)

Can any one help me with these 2 plsss :/
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

6) f=45

7) r=57

Step-by-step explanation:

the angles of a triangle will always add up to 180 degrees. Therefore, for the first one the three inside angles have to be 30, 15, and 135. If 135 is the supplementary angle to f, 45 must be the degree of f.

Same idea for the second one. 180-143=37. so 37+86+r=180. solve for r to get 57.

Show all work to write the equations of the lines, representing the following conditions, in the form y = mx + b, where m is the
natima [27]
4x - 3y - 7 = 0
-3y = -4x + 7
y = 4/3x - 7/3....slope here is 4/3

A. a parallel line will have the same slope

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 4/3
(-2,1)...x = -2 and y = 1
sub and find b, the y int
1 = 4/3(-2) + b
1 = -8/3 + b
1 + 8/3 = b
3/3 + 8/3 = b
11/3 = b

so ur parallel line is : y = 4/3x + 11/3

B. A perpendicular line will have a negative reciprocal slope. To get the negative reciprocal of a number, u flip the number and change the sign. So our perpendicular line will need a slope of -3/4

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -3/4
(-2,1)...x = -2 and y = 1
sub and find b, the y int
1 = -3/4(-2) + b
1 = 3/2 + b
1 - 3/2 = b
2/2 - 3/2 = b
-1/2 = b

so ur perpendicular equation is : y = -3/4x - 1/2
