Answer:

The ratio of AC/CB=1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the section formula:

(\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n})

We substitute the point A(-1.5,0) and B(4.5,8).

We plug in the points to get:

(\frac{4.5m - 1.5n}{m+n},\frac{8m+n \times 0}{m+n})

This is supposed to be equal to: (0,2).

(\frac{4.5m - 1.5n}{m+n},\frac{8m+n \times 0}{m+n}) = (0,2)

We can equate, corresponding coordinates to find m and n.

\frac{4.5m - 1.5n}{m + n}  = 0

This implies that:

4.5m - 1.5n = 0

4.5m  = 1.5n

\frac{m}{n}  =  \frac{1.5}{4.5}

\frac{m}{n}  =  \frac{1}{3}

Therefore the ratio is m:n=1:3

In ΔSTU, the measure of ∠U=90°, SU = 7, UT = 24, and TS = 25. What ratio represents the tangent of ∠T?
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Tan T = 7/24

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, please check attachment to have a picture of the triangle we are solving.

Now, we are concerned with calculating the ratio that represents the tangent of angle T.

Mathematically, the tangent of an angle is the ratio of the length of the opposite to the length of the adjacent.

In this question, our opposite is 7 while the adjacent is 24.

Thus Tan T = 7/24
