$ PS = \frac{4}{3} x

Solution:

Given PRQ is a triangle.

ST is a line parallel to RQ.

$PT = x, \ PQ = 3x,  \ SR=\frac{8}{3}x

TQ=PQ-PT

TQ=3x -x=2x

<u>Triangle proportionality theorem,</u>

<em>If a line parallel to one side of a triangle intersects the other two sides, then it divides the two sides proportionally.</em>

$\frac{PS}{SR} =\frac{PT}{TQ}

$\frac{PS}{\frac{8}{3} x} =\frac{x}{2x}

Do cross multiplication, we get

$ PS \times 2x=x \times \frac{8}{3} x

Divide by 2x on both sides, we get

$ PS = \frac{4}{3} x

You wish to take a flight from Nevada to New York. Use the point (-4, 0) to represent Nevada, and the (5, 2) to represent New Yo
mojhsa [17]

Using proportions, it is found that the ordered pair that represents the location of the layover is (3.75, 1.5).

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

The flight distance is partitioned in a ratio of 3:1, hence, for both the x and y coordinates, we have that:

L - Nv = 3/4(Ny - Nv)

For the x-coordinate, we have that:

x + 4 = \frac{3}{4}(5 + 4)

x = \frac{27}{4} - \frac{16}{4}

x = \frac{11}{4}

x = 3.75

For the y-coordinate, we have that:

y = \frac{3}{4}(2)

y = \frac{6}{4}

y = 1.5.

The ordered pair that represents the location of the layover is (3.75, 1.5).

The mode interval in a histogram is the interval that has the highest frequency.
raketka [301]
This is true. 

When we're talking about the mode, we're usually talking about the number which has the highest frequency in a given set of numbers. For example, out of the numbers:

1 2 3 4 5 6 5 4 5 5 5 

5 will be the mode.
