Answer:

6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Triangle L N P has centroid S.

NS=7x-3, SR=5x-3

To find: NS

Solution:

Centroid is the point of intersection of the medians of the triangle such that it divides each of the median in ratio 2:1

So,

NS:SR=2:1\\\frac{NS}{SR}=\frac{2}{1}  \\

Put NS=7x-3, SR=5x-3

\frac{7x-3}{5x-3}=\frac{2}{1}\\  7x-3=10x-6\\10x-7x=-3+6\\3x=3\\x=1

Therefore,

NS=7x-3=7(1)-3=4\,\,units\\SR=5x-3=5(1)-3=2\,units

So,

NS=NS+SR=4+2=6\,\,units

The time it takes you to get to campus varies inversely as your driving rate. averaging 20 miles per hour in terrible​ traffic,
Korvikt [17]
Given that the time taken to get to campus is inversely proportional to driving rate, let the time be t and rate be r, thus the function will be written as:'
t=k/r
where
k is the constant of proportionality given by:
k=tr
when r=20 mph, t=1.25 hrs
thus
k=20×1.25
k=25 miles
thus the formula is:
t=25/r
when r=55 mph, the value of t will be:
t=25/55
t=5/11 hours

If ______, then ∆ABC and ∆EFD are congruent by the ASA criterion.
damaskus [11]

The <em><u>correct answers</u></em> are:

Angle A is congruent to angle E; and BC=FD.

Explanation:

For ASA, we want two angles and an included side of one triangle congruent to two angles and an included side of the other triangle.  The sides we have marked are AC and DE; the angles already marked congruent are C and D.  In order to be ASA, the other angle must be on the other side of the congruent side; this means that we have angles A and E.

For SAS, we want two sides and an included angle of one triangle congruent to two sides and an included angle of the other triangle.  We have angles C and D congruent and sides AC and DE congruent.  In order to be SAS, the other side must be on the other side of the congruent angle; this means we have sides BC and FD.

In trapezoid ABCD with bases AB and DC , diagonals intersect at point O. Find the length of diagonal BD , if BO=6 cm and: AO/AC
NeX [460]

Answer:

BD = 8 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Point O divides the diagonals proportionally, so ...

... AO/AC = BO/BD = 3/4

Then ...

... BO = BD·3/4 . . . . . multiply by BD

... BD = 4/3·BO = 4/3·(6 cm) . . . . . multiply by 4/3; substitute the value of BO

... BD = 8 cm
