Find the relationship between the two triangles. It’s 3.5 so you can use the Pythagorean theorem (sorry I forgot how to spell it)
A^2 + B^2= C^2
15^2 +8^2= C^2
225+64= C^2
289=C^2
C= 17
Then since they are similar triangles, multiply 17 by 3.5 and you get 59.5
That’s the answer!!
just add you the numbers and you will get the answer
to find the quotient of a problem you would use division
Answer:
So basically the answer is where the lines intersect if they do not intersect there is no solution if they are on top of one another it is infinite solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio would need to be 1:1 in order to split the line in half. Think of it like having two cookies. If you split those cookies between you and your friend, then you get 1 and s/he gets the other. So the ratio of your cookie count to your friend's count is 1:1
With the ratio 1:2, you would have 1 cookie while your friend has 2 cookies. This is no longer a fair split. Things are not 50/50 anymore. You have 1/3 of the cookies while your friend has 2/3 of the cookies. Your friend would have twice as much.
So that applies to the segment lengths as well. The line segment would be split up into two parts A and B. Part A is the smaller segment that is half as long as part B. Or put another way, part B is twice as long as part A
