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.

How to find the area of a equilateral triangle that has a perimeter of 21?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
First, we have to find the length of each side of triangle. Equilateral triangle means 3 sides r in same length, so each side will be 21 ÷ 3 = 7
Now we need to calculate the height of the triangle. We can do this by Pythagoras theorem
Let the height be h
(7/2)^2 + x^2 = 7^2
The area should be 6.0621778265
Or u can say 6.06 corrected to 3 sig fig

Use the distributive property and combine like terms to simplify: u(v−10)
siniylev [52]

Answer:

uv - 10u

Step-by-step explanation:

To distribute a problem, you have to multiply what is on the outside of the parenthesis with what is on the inside.

u · v = uv

u · -10 = -10u

Combined, u(v - 10) = uv - 10u.
