5/8 - 17/8

combine : 5-17 / 8

subtract : 5 - 7 = -12

-12/8

apply fraction rule ( -a/b = - a/b) : - 12/8

cancel common factor 4

answer : - 3/2

I hope this helped

In the diagram, point D divides line segment AB in the ratio of 5:3. If line segment AC is vertical and line segment CD is horiz

KIM [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the coordinates of pointD if A(2,-6), B(10,2) and point D divides line segment AB in the ratio of 5:3.

If point D divides the segment AB in the ratio m:n, then

$D\left(\dfrac{nx_A+mx_B}{m+n},\dfrac{ny_A+my_B}{m+n}\right)$

$D\left(\dfrac{3\cdot 2+5\cdot 10}{5+3},\dfrac{3\cdot (-6)+5\cdot 2B}{5+3}\right)=D(7,-1)$

Point C has the x-coordinate the same as point A and the y-coordinate the same as point D.

Thus, C(2,-1)

emmasim [6.3K]

It is expected to depreciate from 4400 to 800 in 6 years. The depreciation per year is the ratio
depreciation per year = (total depreciation) / (number of years)

The total depreciation is the change in value, so the depreciation per year is
(4400 - 800)/6 = 600

Karen expects the vehicle to depreciate by 600 each year.

Answer:

Volume of Cone =

$= \frac{1}{3}\pi (2)^2 (4)\\\\=\frac{1}{3}(3.14)(4)(4)\\\\=\frac{1}{3}\times 3.14\times 16 \\\\=\frac{1}{3}\times50.24\\\\=16.746\\\\\approx16.75 \texttt {ft} ^3$

Thus, Volume = 16.75 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a cone is given by the formula

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

Where r is the radius and

h is the height

Given radius r = 2 and

height is 2 times that.

So height is 2*2 = 4

Plugging these into the formula we get:

Volume of Cone =

$= \frac{1}{3}\pi (2)^2 (4)\\\\=\frac{1}{3}(3.14)(4)(4)\\\\=\frac{1}{3}\times 3.14\times 16 \\\\=\frac{1}{3}\times50.24\\\\=16.746\\\\\approx16.75 \texttt {ft} ^3$

Thus, Volume = 16.75 cubic feet
