we know that

<u>The centroid</u> of a triangle is the intersection of the three medians of the triangle. The coordinates of the centroid are also two-thirds of the way from each vertex along that segment

so

in this problem

The point G is the centroid of the triangle ABC

AG=2GE ------> equation A

we have

AG=16\ GE=2x

substitute in the equation A and solve for x

16=2*(2x)

16=4x

x=4

BG=2GF ------> equation B

we have

BG=8x

substitute in the equation B and solve for GF

8x=2GF

GF=4x

substitute the value of x

GF=4*4=16

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

She used GF=2BG, but the correct statement is BG=2GF

What is the volume of the triangular prism to the nearest whole unit?
kari74 [83]
The answer is 216 cubic feet. How? All you have to do is multiply every number then divide it by 2. Like this: 2*12*18=432. 432/2= 216 cubic feet.

(-4, -2); y = - 2x + 4
padilas [110]

Answer:

y = -2x - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form of equation is of form

y = mx+c

where m is the slope of line and c is the y intercept of the line.

Y intercept is point on y axis where the line intersects the y axis.

_____________________________

Given equation

y = -2x +4

comparing it with y = mx+ c

m = -2 , c = 4

_____________________________

when two lines are parallel, their slopes are equal.

Let the equation of new line in slope intercept form be y = mx + c

Thus slope of of new required line is -2

Thus m for new line is -2.

now, equation of required line : y = -2x+c

Given that this line passes through (-4, -2). This point shall should satisfy equation  y = -2x+c.

Substituting the value of (-4, -2) we have

-2 = -2(-4)+c

=> -2 = 8 +c

=> -2 -8 = c

=> c = -10.

Thus , equation of required line is  y = -2x - 10.

The table shows the distance Allison drove on one day of her vacation. Is the relationship between the distance and the time a p
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

we conclude that the relationship between distance and time is NOT proportional.

Hence, she did not drive at a constant speed.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that when 'y' varies directly with 'x', we get the equation

y ∝ x

y = kx

k = y/x

where 'k' is called the constant of proportionality.

In our case, the table shows the distance Allison drove on one day of her vacation.

Time (h)              1         2        3          4        5

Distance (mi)       55    100     165     280    250

using the equation

k = y/x

susbtitute y = 55, x = 1

k = 55/1 = 55

substitute y = 100, x = 2

k = y/x

k = 100 / 2 = 50

substitute y = 165, x = 3

k = y/x

k = 165 / 3 = 55

substitute y = 280, x = 4

k = y/x

k = 280 / 4 = 70

substitute y = 250, x = 5

k = y/x

k = 250 / 5 = 50

It is clear that the value of 'k' does not remain constant.

Therefore, we conclude that the relationship between distance and time is NOT proportional.

Hence, she did not drive at a constant speed.
