The legs of a triangle with a hypotenuse that measures 15 units long have lengths that are equal to 15 times the sine or cosine of the given angle.
leg 1 = (15 units) x (cos 19) = 14.18 units
leg 2 = (15 units) x (sin 19) = 4.88 units
The lengths of the legs are 14.18 units and 4.88 units.
Given:
A(16, 4)
B(34, 40)
Line segment AB partition in the ratio 1 : 5.
To find:
The coordinate of a point that partitions AB.
Solution:
Section formula:
Here 
and m = 1, n = 5
The coordinate of point that partitions the segment AB is (19, 10).
In order to do this, we multiply both sides be the amount that would make the left side equal to 1. This number is the reciprocal of the fraction, so we multiply both sides by 3/2. This is equal to:
w = 9/8
So, the blueberries in crystal's basket will weigh 9/8 pounds when it is full.
