You get everything you need from factoring the last expression:
The left side is a difference of squares, and we get another difference of squares upon factoring. We end up with
Plug in everything you know and solve for :
If point p partitions line BA,what would be the part to whole ratio
1 answer:
Answer:
4 / 5
Step-by-step explanation:
From the image attached, Line BA is divided into a total of 5 equal proportions (or intervals). Point P is placed at the 4th proportion of the divided line, also the distance between point P and point A is 1 propotion. The ratio in which point P divides the line BA is given as:
Ratio = BP : PA = 4 : 1
Ratio = 4 : 1
The part to whole ratio If point p partitions line BA = BP / BA = 4 / 5
Part to whole ratio = 4/5
