Answer:

<em> The numbers are 6, 18, and 30 </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

If the three numbers are in the ratio of 3:9:10,

let the numbers be 3x, 9x and 10x.

<em>If 10 is added to the last number to form an arithmetic progression</em>

<em>Then, 3x 9x (10x+10) are the progression</em>

The common difference of an arithmetic progression (d) = T₂ - T₁ = T₃ - T₂

T₂-T₁ = T₃ - T₂ .............. Equation 1

Where T₁ = first term of the progression, T₂ = Second term of the progression, T₃ = third term of the progression

<em>Given: T₁ = 3x, T₂ = 9x, T₃ = 10x +10</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 1</em>

<em>9x-3x = (10x+10)-9x</em>

<em>Solving the equation above,</em>

<em>3x = 10+x</em>

<em>3x-x = 10</em>

<em>2x = 10</em>

<em>x = 10/2</em>

<em>x = 2.</em>

<em>Therefore the numbers are 6, 18, and 30 </em>

The vertices of triangle ABC are A(2, -5), B(-3, 5), and C(3, -3). The triangle is reflected over the x-axis. Use arrow notation
sergiy2304 [10]
Okay, here goes. Notice that since the line of reflection was the x-axis, the x-coordinate of each vertex stays the same and the y-coordinate of each vertex is the opposite of the original vertex, so in that case the answer is 4 or D.

on the set of axes below, the vertices of triangle PQR have coordinates P (-6,7) Q (2,1) and R (-1,-3) what is the area of trian
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Area of ΔPQR = 25 units

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the following formula to calculate the area of triangle ΔPQR:

A = 1/2 | x₁(y₂-y₃) + x₂(y₃-y₁) + x₃(y₁-y₂) | = 1/2 |(-6(1+3) +2(-3-7) +(-1)((7-1)| =

A = 1/2 |-6 · 4 + 2 · (-10) + (-1) · 6| = 1/2 | -24-20-6| = 1/2 | -50| = 1/2 · 50 = 25

A = 25 units

God with you!!!
