Answer:

1. Write both ratios as fractions and reduce them completely. If they are the same fraction, the ratios form a proportion.

2. Write both ratios as fractions. Do the cross products by multiplying the denominator of each fraction by the numerator of the other fraction. If the cross products are equal, the ratios form a proportion.

Which point lies on a circle with a radius of 5 units and center at P(6,1)?

ryzh [129]

Answer:

Option B. $R(2,4)$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If a ordered pair lie on the circle. then the ordered pair must satisfy the equation of the circle

step 1

Find the equation of the circle

we know that

The equation of the circle in center radius form is equal to

$(x-h)^{2}+(y-k)^{2}=r^{2}$

where

r is the radius of the circle

(h,k) is the center of the circle

substitute the values

$(x-6)^{2}+(y-1)^{2}=5^{2}$

$(x-6)^{2}+(y-1)^{2}=25$

step 2

Verify each case

case A) $Q(1, 11)$

substitute the value of $x=1, y=11$ in the equation of the circle and then compare the results

$(1-6)^{2}+(11-1)^{2}=25$

$25+100=25$ ------> is not true

therefore

the ordered pair Q not lie on the circle

case B) $R(2,4)$

substitute the value of $x=2, y=4$ in the equation of the circle and then compare the results

$(2-6)^{2}+(4-1)^{2}=25$

$16+9=25$ ------> is true

therefore

the ordered pair R lie on the circle

case C) $S(4,-4)$

substitute the value of $x=4, y=-4$ in the equation of the circle and then compare the results

$(4-6)^{2}+(-4-1)^{2}=25$

$4+25=25$ ------> is not true

therefore

the ordered pair S not lie on the circle

case D) $T(9,-2)$

substitute the value of $x=4, y=-4$ in the equation of the circle and then compare the results

$(9-6)^{2}+(-2-1)^{2}=25$

$9+9=25$ ------> is not true

therefore

the ordered pair T not lie on the circle

The scale of a map says that 4 cm represents 5 km.

andriy [413]

Answer:

a. 3.2 cm

b. 6.25 km

Step-by-step explanation:

(4 km)/(5 km) = 0.8

4 km is 0.8 of 5 km, so in the map it is 0.8 of 4 cm.

0.8 * 4 cm = 3.2 cm

Answer: 3.2 cm

(5 cm)/(4 cm) = 1.25

5 cm is 1.25 times 4 cm, so it represents 1.25 * 5 km.

1.25 * 5 km = 6.25 km

Answer: 6.25 km
