Answer:
(-9, 10)
Step-by-step explanation:
The location of the midpoint of a line with endpoint at () and (
) is given as (x, y). The location of x and y are:
Given the endpoint (9,8) and Midpoint (0,9), the location of the other endpoint can be gotten from:
Hence the endpoint is at (x2, y2) which is at (-9, 10)
Answer: The player need to make 2 consecutive free throws to raise the average to 75%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of extra consecutive free throws to raise the average to 75% be 'x'.
Number of free throws already taken = 32
Number of attempts = 45
According to question, it becomes,
Hence, the player need to make 2 consecutive free throws to raise the average to 75%.
Answer:
a) 1650 m
b) 1677.05 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
<u>1) Determine what is required for the answers</u>
For part A, we're asked for solve for the horizontal distance in which the road will rise 300 m. In other words, we're solving for the distance from point A to point C, point C being the third vertex of the triangle.
For part B, we're asked to solve for the length of the road, or the length of AB.
<u>2) Prove similarity</u>
In the diagram, we can see that there are two similar triangles: Triangle AXY and ABC (please refer to the image attached).
How do we know they're similar?
Therefore, the two triangles are similar because of AA~ (angle-angle similarity).
<u>3) Solve for part A</u>
Recall that we need to find the length of AC.
First, set up a proportion. XY corresponds to BC and AY corresponds to AC:
Plug in known values
Cross-multiply
Therefore, the road will rise 300 m over a horizontal distance of 1650 m.
<u>4) Solve for part B</u>
To find the length of AB, we can use the Pythagorean theorem:
where c is the hypotenuse of a right triangle and a and b are the other sides
Plug in 300 and 1650 as the legs (we are solving for the longest side)
Therefore, the length of the road is approximately 1677.05 m.
I hope this helps!
