Method A: 7.6666.... = 7 + 0.6666... = 7 + 2/3 = 21/3 + 2/3 = 23/3
Method B: 10(7.666...) - 1(7.666...) = 76.666... - 7.666... = 69.000...
(10 - 1)(7.666...) = 69
7.666... = 69/9 = 23/3
C. three sides with the same length
Given:
In triangle ABC, point D is the centroid, and BD = 6.
To find:
The measure of side BE.
Solution:
We know that the centroid divides each median in 2:1.
In the given figure BE is a median and point D is the centroid. It means point D divides the segment BE in 2:1.
Let BD and DE are 2x and x respectively.
We have, BD = 6 units.



Now,




Therefore, the measure of side BE is 9 units.
Slope: the tilt. it equals rise over run. so 1/2
