Answer:

(–2.2, –1.2)

Step-by-step explanation:

o divide the segment into a 3:2 ratio, we need to divide the segment into five identical parts, and find the point that divides the segment into 3/5 and 2/5. To do this we have to calculate the distance between the two points of the segment, in x and y, we can do this by just subtracting the two "y" coordinates and the two "x" coordinates:

Δy=║-4-3║=7

Δx=║-1-(-4)║=3

Then we divide those differences by 5.

7/5=1.4

3/5=0.6

and now, we multiply those results by 3 and subtract them or add them from the coordinates of the point G (subtract them from the coordinate y and add it to the coordinate x, because we are moving down and right).

Px=-4+3*0.6=-2.2

Py=3-3*1.4=-1.2

so the coordinates of the point we are looking for (which I called "P") are:

P(-2.2, -1.2).

A cuboid has 3 different sized faces. The areas of 2 of the faces are 84cm2and 56cm2. The volume of the cuboid is 672cm3. Find t
Elenna [48]

Answer:

Length: 12 cm

Width: 8 cm

Height; 7 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the areas of 2 of the faces are 84cm² and 56cm².

Now, the side faces are 4 in total with 2 each having same areas.

Thus, it means they would have the same height.

Let's find the highest common factor between 84cm² and 56cm².

The highest number that can be divide each equally is 7.

Thus;

12 × 7 = 84 cm²

8 × 7 = 56 cm²

This means, the bottom part will measure 12 cm by 8 cm.

Thus, the complete measurement is;

Length: 12 cm

Width: 8 cm

Height; 7 cm

Let's check if it will give us a Volume equal to that given.

Thus;

Volume = 12 × 8 × 7 = 672 cm²

This is same as that given and so our dimensions are correct.
