What is the number between 3400 and 4400
2 answers:
To find the midway, we shall first know the difference between the two given.
4400 - 3400 = 1000
1000 is the difference, we shall divide 1000 by 2 to find its half in order to know the midway.
= 500
500 is the half of 1000
now either add 500 to 3400 or subtract 500 from 4400, it will give us the same exact answer anyways.
3400 + 500 = 3900
4400 - 500 = 3900
so, 3900 is the number between 3400 and 4400
4400 - 3400 = 1000
1000 is the difference, we shall divide 1000 by 2 to find its half in order to know the midway.
500 is the half of 1000
now either add 500 to 3400 or subtract 500 from 4400, it will give us the same exact answer anyways.
3400 + 500 = 3900
4400 - 500 = 3900
so, 3900 is the number between 3400 and 4400

<h3>Answer: 40</h3>
=================================================
Explanation:
JQ is longer than QN. We can see this visually, but the rule for something like this is the segment from the vertex to the centroid is longer compared to the segment that spans from the centroid to the midpoint.
See the diagram below.
The ratio of these two lengths is 2:1, meaning that JQ is twice as long compared to QN. This is one property of the segments that form when we construct the centroid (recall that the centroid is the intersection of the medians)
We know that JN = 60
Let x = JQ and y = QN
The ratio of x to y is x/y and this is 2/1
x/y = 2/1
1*x = y*2
x = 2y
Now use the segment addition postulate
JQ + QN = JN
x + y = 60
2y + y = 60
3y = 60
y = 60/3
y = 20
QN = 20
JQ = 2*y = 2*QN = 2*20 = 40
--------------
We have
JQ = 40 and QN = 20
We see that JQ is twice as larger as QN and that JQ + QN is equal to 60.
