Answer:

(-\frac{3}{8},2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point Z divides XY into a 5:3 ratio, so Z is 5/3 of the way from X to Y.  That ratio is k, found by writing the numerator of the ratio (5) over the sum of the numerator and the denominator (5 + 3 = 8).  Our k value is 5/8.  Now we will find the rise and run values which is the slope of this line segment:

m=\frac{2-2}{-6-9} =\frac{0}{-15}

Coordinates are found in this formula:

Z(x,y)=(x_{1}+k(run),y_{1} +k(rise))

Filling that in:

Z(x,y)=(9+\frac{5}{8}(-15),2+\frac{5}{8}(0))

which simplifies to

Z(x,y)=(9-\frac{75}{8},2+0)

which gives us the final coordinates of Z to be Z(x,y)=(-\frac{3}{8},2)

Answer:

104.73cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

AREA OF SEMI CIRCLE

9cm-4cm = 5cm

5cm is the radius of the semi-circle

(πr²)/2 =

25π/2 = 12.5π

AREA OF SQUARE

16cm*9cm = 144cm²

AREA OF THE FIGURE SHOWN

144cm² - 12.5cmπ²

144cm² - 39.27cm² = 104.73cm²

Grace [21]
First, find the amount the sale is worth. To do such a thing, calculate 20% of 35$ like this
(35 * 20) / 100 = ?

To find the cost of 1 jean, take the sale's worth off the full price.
35 - ? = $

Then, multiply it by 6, for 6 jeans.
$ * 6 =
