\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{internal division of a line segment}
\\\\\\
A(-3,1)\qquad B(3,5)\qquad
\qquad \stackrel{\textit{ratio from A to B}}{2:3}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{A\underline{P}}{\underline{P} B} = \cfrac{2}{3}\implies \cfrac{A}{B} = \cfrac{2}{3}\implies 3A=2B\implies 3(-3,1)=2(3,5)\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
P=\left(\cfrac{\textit{sum of "x" values}}{\textit{sum of ratios}}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{\textit{sum of "y" values}}{\textit{sum of ratios}}\right)

\bf -------------------------------\\\\
P=\left(\cfrac{(3\cdot -3)+(2\cdot 3)}{2+3}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{(3\cdot 1)+(2\cdot 5)}{2+3}\right)
\\\\\\
P=\left(\cfrac{-9+6}{5}~~,~~\cfrac{3+10}{5}  \right)\implies P=\left(-\frac{3}{5}~~,~~\frac{13}{5}  \right)

liq [111]

Answer:

1544.1 ft to the nearest tenth.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a triangle where we have to find the hypotenuse and the opposite side to the given angle = 1200 feet.

So we use the sine function   ( sin = opp / hyp).

sin 51 = 1200 / h

h = 1200 / sin 51

h = 1544.111 ft.
