Answer:

The coordinates of C is (-8,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the attached image, you'd see that, AB is 1 and BC is 1, that's because we are told that ratio of AB to AC is 1:2 meaning, AC is 2 and AB is 1. Therefore for that ratio to be satisfied BC has to be 1 so that AC would be 2.

Now let's assume the coordinates of C is (x,y).

To get it's coordinates, we use the section formula:

(x,y)= (\frac{mx + nx_{1}}{m + n} , \frac{my + ny_{1}}{m + n})

Where (m,n) is the (AB, BC)

Therefore we have

(-1,2) = (\frac{1\times x + 1\times6}{1 + 1} , \frac{1\times y + 1\times3}{1 + 1})

This gives:

(-1,2) = (\frac{x + 6}{2} , \frac{y + 3}{2})

-1 =( \frac{x + 6}{2} and 2 = \frac{y + 3}{2})

From there x = -8 and y = 1

Therefore the coordinates of C is (-8, 1).

A circle has a diameter of 10 cm. What is the best approximation of its area? Use 3.14 for pi.....you need radius not diameter i
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

If it has a diameter of 10, divide it by 2 to get Radius (5) because Area = πr²

Then you do r * π *r which would be 78.5. so C is your answer.
