Yes, I can! If you have any more questions, please ask!
The best way I can explain the elimination method is, it's a method where you either add or subtract equations in order to get rid of a variable.
Answer:
See below
Step-by-step explanation:
I think we had a question similar to this before. Again, let's figure out the vertical and horizontal distances figured out. The distance from C at x=8 to D at x=-5 is 13 units while the distance from C at y=-2 to D at y=9 is 11 units. (8+5=13 and 2+9=11, even though some numbers are negative, we're looking at their value in those calculations)
Next, we have to divide each distance by 4 so we can apply it to the ratio. 13/4=
and 11/4=
. Next, we need to read the question carefully. It's asking us to place the point in the ratio <em>3</em> to <em>1</em> from <em>C</em> to <em>D</em>. The point has to be closer to endpoint D because of this. Let's take each of our fractions, multiply them by 3, then add them towards the direction of endpoint D to get our answer (sorry if that sounds confusing):
Therefore, our point that partitions CD into a 3:1 ratio is (
).
I'm not sure if there was more to #5 judging by how part B was cut off. From what I can understand of part B, however, I believe that Beatriz started from endpoint D and moved towards C, the wrong direction. She found the coordinates for a 1:3 ratio point.
Also, for #6, since a square is a 2-dimensional object, the answer needs to be written showing that. The answer for #6 is 9 units^2.
Answer:
12 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the area of a trapezoid is written as:
1/2(b1 + b2)h
h = height = 16 cm
b1 = Length of one parallel side = 9cm
b2 = Length of second parallel side = ?
Area of trapezoid = 168cm²
The formula to find the length of the second parallel side =
b2 = 2A/h - b1
b2 = 2 × 168/16 - 9
b2 = 336/16 - 9
b2 = 21 - 9
b2 = 12cm
Therefore, the length of the second parallel side is 12 cm
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(6/5)√x = x - 6
(36/25)x = x² - 12x + 36
0 = x² - 13.44x + 36
x = (13.44 ± √(13.44² - 4(1)(36))) / (2(1))
x = (13.44 ± 6.052569702...) / 2
x = 3.69371... zebras
or
x = 9.74628... zebras
In either case we have some odd fractions of zebras hanging around. This makes me highly suspect that the question is misreported
