Answer:

c)No, P is the distance from A to B, and Q is the distance from B to A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Point P partitions the directed segment from A to B into a 1:3 ratio.

Ratio is 1:3

So AP is 1  and PB is 3

Q partitions the directed segment from B to A into a 1:3 ratio.

Ratio is 1:3

So BQ is 1  and QA is 3.

That is AQ= 3  and BQ= 1

The ratio of Q and P varies

AP =1  and AQ=3

So P  and Q  are not at the same point.

Because P is the distance from A  to B  and Q is the distance from B to A

Where do I put the parentheses in 21-8-6=7
Sliva [168]

Answer:

around 21-8 so the equation would look like this (21-8)-6=7

Step-by-step explanation:

you do this because if u put the parentheses around 8-6 you would get 21- (8-6)= 19 because 21 - 2 = 19 so you have to put them around 21-8 to get the right answer

How to do this question plz ​
enyata [817]

Answer:

  x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem. The sum of the square of the sides is the square of the hypotenuse.

  x² +(√200)² = (√300)²

  x² = 300 -200

  x = √100 = 10

The length of the unknown side is 10 units.

A boat traveled 36 miles in 1.5 hours and then 14 miles in 0.75 hours. what is the average speed of the boat?
jeka57 [31]
Speed=distance/time
You'll have to combine like terms.
36+14=50
1.5+0.75=2.25

And then you can use the formula.
50/2.25
