Answer:
I think its 13:7
Step-by-step explanation:
The coordinates consist of x coordinate and y coordinate
(x₁,y₁) = (-1,7)
(x₂,y₂) = (3,-3)
To find the midpoint of x coordinate, use this following formula
x midpoint = (x₁ + x₂)/2
x midpoint = (-1 + 3) / 2
x midpoint = 2/2
x midpoint = 1
To find the midpoint of y coordinate, use this following formula
y midpoint = (y₁ + y₂)/2
y midpoint = (7 + (-3))/2
y midpoint = (7 - 3)/2
y midpoint = 4/2
y midpoint = 2
ANSWER
The midpoint is (1,2)
Triangles ABC and ADE are similar triangles. That means the sides are all scaled by the same factor.
To go from side BC to side DE, you multiply by 1.25. That means 1.25 is your scale factor. Now apply that factor to the bottom side to get your answer.
Side AB is 6. That means side AD is 6 x 1.25 = 7.5. That means x = 7.5 - 6 = 1.5
