Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

  • A(2,1)

2x-y+k=0    k=?

2*2-1+k=0

4-1+k=0

3+k=0

k=-3

  • B(5,-8)

2x-y+k=0

2*5-(-8)+k=0

10+8+k=0

18+k=0

k=-18

Answer:

  k = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

The location of P is ...

  P = (2A+B)/3 = (2·2+5, 2·1-8)/3 = (3, -2)

Putting this point into the equation for the line, we have ...

  2(3) -(-2) +k = 0

  8 +k = 0

  k = -8

I can't exactly SHOW you where to put the numbers, but I can teach you the process of how you'd do it.

First off, label your number line from 0-15, as it is the simplest. (You'd be counting by 1 per each line). Then, follow this process:

1) Look at the first digit of your value. Place your number according to your first digit. (So, you'd put 0.365 at the 0 line and 3.521 at the 3 line)

2) Look at the second digit of your value. Imagine that between the two main lines (0-1 and 3-4) that there is 10 smaller lines. Then, you can place your number according to your second digit. (So, you'd put 0.365 at the 0.3 line and 3.521 at the 3.5 line).

3) Look at the third digit of your value. Imagine that between the two smaller lines (0.3-0.4 and 3.5-3.6) that there is 10 smaller lines. Then, you can place your number according to your third digit. (So, you'd put 0.365 at the 0.36 line and 3.521 at the 3.52 line).

4) Look at the fourth digit of your value. Imagine that between the two even smaller lines (0.36-0.37 and 3.52-3.53) that there is 10 smaller lines. Then, you can place your number according to your fourth digit. (So you'd place 0.365 at the 0.365 line and 3.521 at the 3.521 line)

Find the lateral surface area.
sveta [45]

Answer:

900 yd²

Step-by-step explanation:

You can draw the pattern that would need to be folded to make the figure, then find the area of that pattern (or "net"). It consists of a rectangle 10 yards wide and 60 yards long, together with another that is 20 yards long and 15 yards wide. The total area is the sum of these ...

... area = (60 yd)(10 yd) + (20 yd)(15 yd)

... = 600 yd² +300 yd²

... = 900 yd²
