Answer:
Ok for one im sooo sooorrry i know how it feels but guess what that guy is probably a loser you should tell yourself your better than him and you deserve better. Some People are just du.mb but u can do better.
We have that
A(-2,-4) B(8,1) <span>
let
M-------> </span><span>the coordinate that divides the directed line segment from A to B in the ratio of 2 to 3
we know that
A--------------M----------------------B
2 3
distance AM is equal to (2/5) AB
</span>distance MB is equal to (3/5) AB
<span>so
step 1
find the x coordinate of point M
Mx=Ax+(2/5)*dABx
where
Mx is the x coordinate of point M
Ax is the x coordinate of point A
dABx is the distance AB in the x coordinate
Ax=-2
dABx=(8+2)=10
</span>Mx=-2+(2/5)*10-----> Mx=2
step 2
find the y coordinate of point M
My=Ay+(2/5)*dABy
where
My is the y coordinate of point M
Ay is the y coordinate of point A
dABy is the distance AB in the y coordinate
Ay=-4
dABy=(1+4)=5
Mx=-4+(2/5)*5-----> My=-2
the coordinates of point M is (2,-2)
see the attached figure
1. Use the Pythagoras theorem
13^2 = x^2 + 5^2
solve for x and youll get the height of the roof.
2. let x = length of the rpoe)-
x^2 = 9^2 + 12^2
3. Pythagoras again
20^2 = x^2 + 12^2
