Explain why partitioning a directed line segment into a ratio of 1:3 is not the same as finding half the length of the directed

line segment.

Answer:

The reason is explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Partition means to separate or to divide. A line segment can be partitioned into smaller segments which are compared as ratios.

The ratio of 1:3 shows that the segment will actually be divided into 4 equal sections and finding half the length of the directed line segment implies that the line segment divides in the ratio 1:1 i.e  the segment will actually be divided into 2 equal sections.

Hence, partitioning a directed line segment into a ratio of 1:3 is not the same as finding half the length of the directed line segment

Answer:

A ratio of 1:2 means that there are 3 parts in total. One part will be before the desired point, and 2 parts will be after the desired point. This is the same as finding the point that is 1/3 the length. Half the length of the segment would mean there would only be two pieces, each of equal size.

Find the perimeter of this figure to the nearest hundredth use 3.14 to approximate pi P=?ft
blagie [28]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter of the figure = perimeter of the rectangle + perimeter of the semicircle

= 2(l+B) + \pi r

= 2( 10+8) + 3.14 × 5

= 36 + 15.7

= 51.7

= 100 ( rounding off to nearest hundredth )

hope this helps

Answer:

First One = 0.000045        Second One = 0.024

Step-by-step explanation:

When 10 has a negative power, move the decimal to the right the number of times the power is. For example, 10^-5 is moved 5 places to the LEFT, so it is 0.000045.

During the last class period of the semester, each student in a graduate computer science class with 10 students is required to
sesenic [268]

Answer:

Probability = 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Total ways of arrangement for 10 students = 10 !

Ways to arrange 2 students consecutively & other 8 students =  9 ! x 2      

( As 9! to arrange 9 units, as 2 considered together ; &  2 for arranging 2 consecutive students - respectively )

So, Probability = Favourable outcomes / Total outcomes

= ( 2 x 9! ) / 10!  = ( 2 x 9 x 8 x ..... 2 x 1 ) / 10 x 9 x ....... 2 x 1)

= 2 / 10 = 1/5
