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.

(2a+b)^2÷(3b-1) when a= -2 and b=5
WINSTONCH [101]
Evaluate (2 a + b)^2/(3 b - 1) where a = -2 and b = 5:
(2 a + b)^2/(3 b - 1) = (5 - 2×2)^2/(3×5 - 1)

3×5 = 15:
(5 - 2×2)^2/(15 - 1)

 | 1 | 5
- | | 1
 | 1 | 4:
(5 - 2×2)^2/14

2 (-2) = -4:
(-4 + 5)^2/14

5 - 4 = 1:
1^2/14

1^2 = 1:

Answer: 1/14

— 25 — 3х + 5 or – 3х +5 — 31​
zysi [14]

Answer:

both should

be equal to hope my work is correct or helps

Step-by-step explanation:

first one

-25<-3x+5 subtract 5 from both sides

-25-5=-30

5-5=0

then divide by -3

-30 divided by -3 =10

x=10

so it is equal to not less than

second one

-3x+5<-31

subtract 5 from both sides 5-5=0

-31 -5=-36

then divide both sides by -3

x=12

Which is the diameter of a rectangle whose circumference is 13653 cm and one side is 5431 cm​
leonid [27]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

If by circumference you meant perimeter and diameter you mean length, then here is my answer.

Perimeter = 2L+ 2W

13653= 2*L + 2*5431

13653= 2L + 10862     Subtract 10862 from both sides

2791= 2L Divide by 2

L= 1395.5

The diameter is 1395.5
