Answer: (4, 4.6)

=======================================

The x coordinates of the points (3,2) and (8,15) are x = 3 and x = 8 respectively. The distance between these x values is 8-3 = 5 units. So we move 5 units to the right to go from the first point to the second point.

Imagine we had 5 blocks. If 1 of them is colored red and the other four are green, then the ratio of red to green is 1:4. We have 1 part red, 4 parts green. So 1+4 = 5 total. The "red block" in the metaphor mentioned basically tells us how far to move over the total distance 5. So we move 1/5th of the way along the horizontal distance of 5.

1/5 of 5 = (1/5)*5 = 1

So we move exactly one unit along the x direction. Therefore, we add 1 to to the x coordinate of (3,2) to end up with (3+1,2) = (4,2). This isn't the final answer, but it helps get us closer.

---------------

For the y coordinates of the given points we see that the y difference is 15-2 = 13. Multiply this by 1/5 to get

(1/5)*13 = 13/5 = 2.6

We follow effectively the same steps as before, but now we're dealing with the y values this time. So we move 2.6 units in the y direction (ie move 2.6 units up)

Add 2.6 onto the y value of that last point we found to get (4,2+2.6) = (4,4.6)

So that explains why the answer is (4, 4.6)

A visual might help so I've posted one below in the attached images. In that image, the location of point T is the final answer.

Tommy finished 3/5 of the race in 6 hour. how long was the entire race?
lesya692 [45]

Hello there,

Well to find the total time you would have to set up a proportion...

6 / 3/5 = x / 1

Now you crosss multiply and divide...

6 * 1 = 6

6 / 3/5 =30/3 = 10


Answer: 10 hours


Hope I helped!!

169= (24/2)^2 +(d/2)^2
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer: d = ±10

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

169 = (\frac{24}{2})^{2} + (\frac{d}{2})^{2}

169 = (12)² + \frac{d^{2}}{4}

169 = 144  + \frac{d^{2}}{4}

25 =            \frac{d^{2}}{4}

100 = d²

√100 = √d²

 ±10 = d

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Each Angle of Decagon = 144 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The interior angles of a decagon add up to 1440

If they are of the same measure, then every angle will be equal to:

Each Angle of Decagon = 1440/10

Each Angle of Decagon = 144 degrees
