A directed line segment on a gridded map shows the path of a hot air balloon from 1(0,0) to B(8,4). Each grid unit represents 1

mile. The balloon traveled at a constant speed of 20 miles per hour Point V divides line segment AB in the ratio 6 to 2.
a) What are the coordinates of point V? Round to the nearest tenth if necessary


b) Mary states that the distance from point A to point Vis 6 miles. What is Mary's mistake? What is the

correct distance? (Check)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

There is  a point V with ration 6 to 2, therefore we must find the coordinates of point V and the distance from A to V

<u>According to the graph</u>

c^{2}=x^{2}+y^{2}\\c^{2}=8^{2}+4^{2}\\c=\sqrt{64+16}=8.9.4\\sin\alpha =\frac{4}{8.94}

α≅27°

V=2*8.94/6 (ratio 6:2)

V=2.98mile

sin27=\frac{y}{2.98}\\y=sin27*2.98=1.35\\cos27=\frac{x}{2.98}\\x=cos27*2.98=2.65

coordinates of V = (2,65;1.35)

Distance from A to V

d_{AV}=2.98 miles

finally

Mary's mistake is to take the 6 to 2 ratio as the distance traveled from the globe only in the x direction

Find the area of the trapezoid below.
Pani-rosa [81]

Answer: 54 cm²

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, we're asked to find the area of the trapezoid shown. A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides.

The formula for the area of a trapezoid is shown below.

Area =\frac{1}{2} (^{b} 1 + ^{b}2)h

The <em>b's</em> represent the bases which are the parallel sides and <em>h</em> is the height.

So in the trapezoid shown, the bases are 6 cm and 12 cm and the height is 6 cm. Plugging this information into the formula, we have \frac{1}{2} (6 cm +12cm)(6 cm).

Next, the order of operations tell us that we must simplify inside the parentheses first. 6 cm + 12 cm is 18 cm and we have \frac{1}{2}(18 cm)(6 cm).

\frac{1}{2} (18 cm) is 9 cm and we have 9 cm · 6 cm of 54 cm²

So the area of the trapezoid shown is 54 cm².
