Answer: LAST OPTION.

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition the line segment that goes from a vertex of the triangle to the midpoint of the oposite side, is called "Median of a triangle".

The medians of a triangle intersect at point called "The centroid of the triangle" and this divides each median in a ratio 2:1.

In this case, you can notice that the Centroid of the given triangle is the point "X".

Based on the explained before, we can write the following porportion:

\frac{RX}{XW}= \frac{2}{1}

Solving for "XW":

XW=\frac{RX}{2}

Since the lenght of "RX" is 27 centimeters, you know that;

RX+XW=27

Substituting XW=\frac{RX}{2} into RX+XW=27 and solving for "RX", we get that its lenght is:

RX+\frac{RX}{2}=27\\\\\frac{3}{2}RX=27\\\\RX=(27)(\frac{2}{3})\\\\RX=18\ cm

The area of a garden is 8 3/4 square yards. If the lenght is 1 1/4 yards , what is the length?​
andrezito [222]

Answer:

The Missing Length = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: side length x side length = area

  • This means that if you divide the area by one of the side lengths, you'll find the other

1.  Convert the numbers into decimals

  • 8 3/4 -  8.75 (area)
  • 1 1/4  = 1.25 (side length)

2. Divide the <u>area</u> by the <u>side length</u>

  • 8.75 ÷ 1.25 = <u>7</u>

<u></u>

<u>7</u> is the answer.

8 foot path

1st step = 8/2 = 4ft
2nd step = 4/2 = 2ft
3rd step = 2/2 = 1ft
4th step = 1/2 = 1/2ft

So he covered 7 1/2 ft (or 7.5ft)

The population of a town is growing exponentially and can be modeled by the
svp [43]

The population of the town in 1960 is 48.80 thousands

<h3>How to determine the population in 1950?</h3>

The equation of the model is given as:

f(t) = 42e^(0.015t)

1960 is 10 years after 1950.

This means that:

t = 10

Substitute t = 10 in f(t) = 42e^(0.015t)

f(10) = 42e^(0.015 * 10)

Evaluate

f(10) = 48.80

Hence, the population of the town in 1960 is 48.80 thousands
