Given:
The point
divides the line segment joining points
and
.
To find:
The ratio in which he point P divides the segment AB.
Solution:
Section formula: If a point divides a segment in m:n, then the coordinates of that point are,

Let point P divides the segment AB in m:n. Then by using the section formula, we get


On comparing both sides, we get


Multiply both sides by 4.




It can be written as


Therefore, the point P divides the line segment AB in 1:5.

3 1/2= 3.5 inches and 4 2/3 feet is 56 inches. Now put 3.5/56=0.0625
Answer: BC = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are congruent, that means they are the same. So side AB = side EF. Since we know side FD is 15, that means side BC= 15
