Answer:

Point B = (53, -25)  satisfies the required condition

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that point A is in the second quadrant and point C in the fourth quadrant, and the separation between them in the x-direction is given by:

| 5 - (-7) | = 12  

while their separation in the y-direction is:  

| -1 -5 | = 6

That means that point C is twelve units to the right and 6 units down from point A. In order to create a segment with another point aligned with them and which has 5 times the length of AC, we then need to consider adding to the x-coordinate of point C 4 times 12 units = 48 units to obtain the x-coordinate of the new point B, and go down 4 times 6 units = 24 units to the y-coordinate of point C.

This is: B = (5+48, -1-24) = (53, -25)

We can verify our procedure by estimating the length of the segment AB and that of segment AC and checking that the first one is indeed 5 times that of AC:

|AB| =\sqrt{(53-(-7))^2+(-25-5)^2} = \sqrt{3600+900} =\sqrt{4500} =\sqrt{2^2\,3^2\,5^3} =5\,\sqrt{180}

|AC| =\sqrt{(5-(-7))^2+(-1-5)^2} = \sqrt{144+36} =\sqrt{180}

Therefore this new point B is indeed giving as a segment of the desired length.

Whats the percent difference of 154 and 440
Semmy [17]
This would be a percent increase, so the formula would be:

New amount - Original amount / Original amount

Replace the numbers:

440 - 154 / 440

Simplify.

286 / 440

The chance would be 0.65, or 65%.

The 3 angles form the straight line AB. A straight line equals 180 degrees.

The 3 angles when added together need to equal 180:

2x + 65 + (x + 65) = 180

Simplify by combining like terms:

3x + 130 = 180

Subtract 130 from both sides

3x = 50

Divide both sides by 3

X = 50/3

X = 16 2/3 (16.66667 as a repeating decimal)

Now you have x if you need to solve all the angles replace x with its value and sole:

2x = 2(16 2/3) = 33 1/3

X + 65 = 16 2/3 + 65 = 81 2/3
