Look at it this way. (x.y x = 10 / y = 1) So, 3 inches straight is 15 * 3 = 45, and the 0.4 would be 45 + 4 = 49. So, 49 should be your answer.

∠1 and ∠2 are complementary.
kobusy [5.1K]
If two angles are complimentary then their sum would equal to 90 degree.
i.e., x + 3x + 30 = 90
4x = 90 - 30
x = 60 / 4
x = 15

In short, Your Answer would be Option A

Hope this helps!

Four points partition the directed line segment from A to B. • Point P partitions the directed line segment from A to B into a 3
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

S is closest to B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a directed line segment from point A to B.

Point P divides the line A to B in a ratio 3:4.

Point Q divides the line A to B in a ratio 4:3.

Point R divides the line A to B in a ratio 2:5.

Point S divides the line A to B in a ratio 5:2.

To find:

The point which is closest to the point B.

Solution:

Here, to find the point closest to B we need to find the distances PB, QB, RB and SB.

We can see the sum of ratio 3:4, 4:3, 2:5 and 5:2 is 7.

Let the distance between A and B be 7 units.

Now, the distances can be found easily.

PB = \dfrac{4}{7}\times 7 = 4\ units

QB = \dfrac{3}{7}\times 7 = 3\ units

RB = \dfrac{5}{7}\times 7 = 5\ units

SB = \dfrac{2}{7}\times 7 = 2\ units

The point which has the minimum distance from point B, will be nearest to B.

We can clearly observe that SB is the minimum distance.

Therefore, <em>S is closest to B</em>.
