Look at the picture.

1)|AM| = |MB| = x
|AN| = |NC| = y
|BC| = 2y - 2x = 2(y - x)
|MN| = y - x
Therefore |BC| = 2|MN|
2)|AM| = |MB| = x
|AN| = |NC| = y

|BC| = 2y - 2x = 2(y - x)
|MN| = y - x
Therefore |BC| = 2|MN|

Hello ! (<span>I attached a picture of the drawing)</span>

<span>First, we draw a line with 3 points B,A,C in this order.Then </span><span>we will note the middle of AB with M and also the middle of AC with N.
</span>
<span></span><span>We can notice that BC = AB + AC
</span>
<span>M - the middle of AB ⇒ AM=MB=AB/2</span>
<span>N - the middle of AC ⇒ AN=NC=AC/2
</span>

<span>We can write MN as AM+AN , which means AB/2 + AC/2 . We can also write AB as BC-AC , so we will have :
</span>
<span>MN = AB/2 + AC/2</span>
<span>MN = (BC-AC)/2 + AC/2</span>
<span>MN = BC/2 - AC/2 + AC/2 ( AC/2 with -AC/2 are reduced)</span>
MN = BC/2    or    BC = 2·MN

What is the remainder in the division problem
Cerrena [4.2K]
I believe the answer is 2, the 3 large circles are filled with 5 dots each, the total number of dots is 17. 15 is the number closest to 17 that can be divided by 3 therefore there would be 2 left over (the 2 dots on the outside)

Find the perimeter of a triangle with vertices A(3, 1), B(2, -1), and C(-3, 2). Leave
natulia [17]

The perimeter of triangle is: 14.15 units

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all we have to find the lengths of sides of triangles

Given

A(3, 1), B(2, -1), and C(-3, 2)

The distance formula will be used to find the lengths of sides

d = \sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}\\

So,

AB = \sqrt{(2-3)^2+(-1-1)^2}\\=\sqrt{(-1)^2+(2)^2}\\=\sqrt{1+4}\\=\sqrt{5}\\=2.24\ unitsBC = \sqrt{(-3-2)^2+(2+1)^2}\\=\sqrt{(-5)^2+(3)^2}\\=\sqrt{25+9}\\=\sqrt{34}\\= 5.83\ units\\AC = \sqrt{(-3-3)^2+(2-1)^2}\\=\sqrt{(-6)^2+(1)^2}\\=\sqrt{36+1}\\=\sqrt{37}\\=6.08\ units

The perimeter of triangle will be:

P = AB+BC+AC\\= 2.24+5.83+6.08\\=14.15\ units

Hence,

The perimeter of triangle is: 14.15 units

You collect a total of $75 in donations from three people. The three donations are in the ratio 4 to 4 to 7. How much is each of
worty [1.4K]
Each smaller donation was for $20 The largest donation was $15 greater than the smaller donation. First, determine the size of each donation. Since they are in a ratio of 4:4:7, it's easiest to add the ratios together (4+4+7) = 15. Then divide the total donation by that sum (75/15) = 5. Finally, multiply 5 by each of the ratios. 5 * 4 = 20, 5 * 4 = 20, and 5 * 7 = 35 So the 2 smaller donations were $20 each, and the largest donation was for $35. The largest donation was $35 - $20 = $15 larger than one of the smaller donations.
