Answer:

In summary, a line segment is a part of a line with two distinct end points. You can find the length of a line segment by solving an equation when the length of two lines segments is known. The length of line segments on the Cartesian plane can be found by counting the units that the line segment covers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Measure line segments. While the length or the measure is simply written AB. The length could either be determined in Metric units (e.g. millimeters, centimeters or meters) or Customary units (e.g. inches or foot). Two lines could have the same measure but still not be identical.

The given ratios expresses the number of time a value is larger or smaller

than another value.

The correct responses are;

3. (B) 12 and 24

4. (D) 6, 9, 21

5. $\underline{(E) \ \displaystyle \frac{11}{2}}$

6. $\underline{(E) \ \displaystyle \frac{5}{14}}$

7. (B) $\overline{EF}$ = 6, $\overline{AC}$ = 9·√5

8. (C) The values are equal

9. (A) The value in column A is greater

Reasons:

3. Given that the perimeter of the rectangle = 72

The ratio of the lengths of the sides = 1:2

Let a and b represent the sides, we have;

2·a + 2·b = 72

$\displaystyle \frac{a}{b} = \mathbf{\frac{1}{2}}$

Which gives;

2·a = b

2·a + 2·(2·a) = 72

6·a = 72

a = 72 ÷ 6 = 12

b = 2·a = 2 × 12 = 24

The lengths of the sides are; (B) 12 and 24

4. Extended ratio = 2:3:7

The perimeter = 36

The lengths of the sides are;

$\displaystyle \frac{2}{2 + 3 + 7} \times 36 = \mathbf{6}$

$\displaystyle \frac{3}{2 + 3 + 7} \times 36 = \mathbf{9}$

$\displaystyle \frac{7}{2 + 3 + 7} \times 36 = \mathbf{21}$

The lengths are; (D) 6, 9, 21

5. The given equation is presented as follows;

$\displaystyle \frac{5}{x + 7} = \mathbf{\frac{3}{x + 2}}$

5 × (x + 2) = 3 × (x + 7)

5·x + 10 = 3·x + 21

5·x - 3·x = 21 - 10

2·x = 11

$\displaystyle x = \mathbf{ \frac{11}{2}}$

The correct option is; $\displaystyle \underline{(E) \ \frac{11}{2}}$

6. The width to length ratio is $\displaystyle \mathbf{\frac{2.5}{7.0}}$

The simplified ratio is therefore;

$\displaystyle \frac{2.5}{7.0} = \frac{2 \times 2.5}{2 \times 7.0} = \mathbf{\frac{5}{14}}$

The correct option is (E) $\displaystyle \underline{(E) \ \frac{5}{14}}$

7. The given ratio of the lengths is 3:1

Therefore;

$\overline{BC}$ : $\overline{EF}$ = 3:1

Which gives;

$\displaystyle \mathbf{\frac{\overline{BC}}{\overline{EF}}} = \frac{3}{1}$

$\overline{BC}$ = 18

Therefore;

$\displaystyle \frac{18}{\overline{EF}} = \frac{3}{1}$

18 × 1 = 3 × $\overline{EF}$

$\displaystyle \overline{EF} = \frac{18 \times 1}{3} = 6$

$\overline{EF}$ = 6

By Pythagorean theorem, we have;

$\overline{DF}$ ² = $\mathbf{\overline{DE}}$ ² + $\mathbf{\overline{EF}}$ ²

Which gives;

$\overline{DF}$ ² = 3² + 6² = 45

$\overline{DF}$ = √(45) = 3·√5

Using the given ratio, we have;

$\overline{AC}$ = 3 × $\mathbf{\overline{DF}}$

Which gives;

$\overline{AC}$ = 3 × 3·√5 = 9·√5

$\overline{AC}$ = 9·√5

The correct option is; (B) $\overline{EF}$ = 6, $\overline{AC}$ = 9·√5

8. EF = 1, AB = 2

CD = 2, CE = 4

Therefore;

$\displaystyle \mathbf{\frac{EF}{AB}} =\frac{1}{2}$

$\displaystyle \mathbf{\frac{CD}{CE}} =\frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}$

Which gives;

$\displaystyle \frac{EF}{AB} =\displaystyle \mathbf{\frac{CD}{CE}}$

(C) The values are equal

9. AC = 6, BE = 8

DF = 3, BD = 6

Column A

$\displaystyle \frac{AC}{BE} =\displaystyle \mathbf{\frac{6}{8}} = \frac{3}{4}$

Column B

$\displaystyle \frac{DF}{BD} =\displaystyle \mathbf{\frac{3}{6}} = \frac{1}{2}$

$\displaystyle \frac{3}{4} > \mathbf{\frac{1}{2}}$

Therefore;

Column A is greater than column B

(A) The value in column A is greater

I'm having trouble with unit rates. Please help.

dezoksy [38]

The answer to your question is "C. 4 feet/ 1 second."

When the rate has a quantity of 1, it is a unit rate. So if the rate is 4 feet to 1 second (or four feet per second), it would be considered a unit rate.
