Answer:

<u>Point C at (-18/7)</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Point A is at -6 and point B is at 2.

So, the distance between A and B = 2 - (-6) = 8

point C on the directed line segment from A to B on a number line such that the segment is partitioned in a ratio of 3:4.

Let the distance AC = x

∴ BC = 8 - x

AC : CB = 3 : 4

∴\frac{AC}{CB} =\frac{3}{4} = \frac{x}{8-x}

Using cross multiplication

3 (8-x) = 4x

24 - 3x = 4x

24 = 7x

x = 24/7

So, Point C = -6 + 24/7 = -18/7

Point C at (-18/7)

It is given that AB is parellel to CD. These two lines are cut by a transversal, creating angles BAC and DCA. Thus, angle BAC is congruent to angle DCA because alternate interior angles are congruent. It is also given that angle ACB is congruent to angle CAD. Therefore, triangle ABC is congruent to triangle CDA because of the ASA theorem.

Need help finding out what 3x=y and x-2y = 10
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

x=-2, y=-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple substitution.

Since y is isolated in one of the equations already, you can plug it into the second equation.

x - 2(3x) = 10

x - 6x = 10

-5x = 10

x = -2

Sub. x = -2 into 3x = y:

3(-2) = y

y = -6

A cylinder with a height of 12 cm has a volume of 1728 pi cm^ 3 What is the diameter of the cylinder?
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let r be radius of the cylinder.

volume of cylinder=πr²h

1728π=πr²×12

r²=1728 π/12π=144

r=√144=12

diameter=2r=2×12=24 cm

a rectangular prism with a volume of 10 cubic units is filled with cubes with side lenghts of 1/2 unit how many 1/2 unit cubes d
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cube is

V=s^3, we are told the volume is 10u^3 and that it will be filled with cubes having a side of 1/2 so

n(1/2)^3=10, where n will be the number of these small cubes

n(1/8)=10 upon multiplying each side by 8

n=80

So it will take 80 cubes of side length 1/2 to have a volume equal to 10u^3
