Answer:  The answer is 3\dfrac{4}{7}.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given in the question that ΔAM is a right-angled triangle, where ∠C = 90°, CP ⊥ AM, AC : CM = 3 : 4 and MP - AP = 1. We are to find AM.

Let, AC = 3x and CM = 4x.

In the right-angled triangle ACM, we have

AM^2=AC^2+CM^2=(3x)^2+(4x)^2=9x^2+16x^2=25x^2\\\\\Rightarrow AM=5x.

Now,

AM=AP+PM=AP+(AP+1)\\\\\Rightarrow 2AP=AM-1\\\\\Rightarrow 2AP=5x-1.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(A)

Now, since CP ⊥ AM, so ΔACP and ΔMCP are both right-angled triangles.

So,

CP^2=AC^2-AP^2=CM^2-MP^2\\\\\Rightarrow (3x)^2-AP^2=(4x)^2-(AP+1)^2\\\\\Rightarrow 9x^2-AP^2=16x^2-AP^2-2AP-1\\\\\Rightarrow 2AP=7x^2-1.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(B)

Comparing equations (A) and (B), we have

5x-1=7x^2-1\\\\\Rightarrow 5x=7x^2\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{5}{7},~\textup{since }x\neq 0.

Thus,

AM=5\times\dfrac{5}{7}=\dfrac{25}{7}=3\dfrac{4}{7}.

0.9(3÷2.25− 1/8 (1 2/3 1/9 ))− 4/7 ÷0.8. i would like to know what this equals if you could help that would be great.
mario62 [17]

Answer:

781/1680

Step-by-step explanation:

Don't you have a calculator?

I assume that by (1 2/3 1/9), you mean (1+2/3)*(1/9)

Assuming that you put all necessary parentheses:

781/1680, approx. 0.4648809523809524
