The first answer is c
42cm(2)
In both cases,
(as a consequence of the interesecting secant-tangent theorem)
So we have
10.
(omit the negative solution because that would make at least one of AB or AD have negative length)
11.
(again, omit the solutions that would give a negative length for either AB or AD)
The coordinates of point P are (-3 , -6)
Step-by-step explanation:
If point (x , y) partitions line AB where A = and B =
at a ratio from A then:
1.
2.
∵ P partitions AB in the ratio 3 : 4
∴ = 3 : 4
∵ A = (-9 , -9) and B = (5 , -2)
- Substitute the coordinates of points A and B in the rules above
∵
∴
∴
∴ x = -3
The x-coordinate of P is -3
∵
∴
∴
∴ y = -6
The y-coordinate of P is -6
The coordinates of point P are (-3 , -6)
