Answer:

Part 1; The point (m, 4) divides the line externally in the ratio 3:2

Part 2; m = -19

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1

The given point dividing the line = (m, 4)

The given points on the line = (5, 1) and (-3, 2)

Let A and B, represent the points (5, 1) and (-3, 2) respectively, and let P represent the point, (m, 4)

Therefore, we have;

The vertical distance from 4 to 1 = 4 - 1 = 3 units

The vertical distance from 4 to 2 = 4 - 2 = 2 units

Given that the point 4 is over the given points joined by the line, (5, 1) and (-3, 2), we have that the point (m, 4) divides the line in the ration -3:2 or externally in the ratio AP:PB = -3:2

Part 2

Therefore, we have;

(m - 5)/(m - (-3)) = 3/2

3·m + 9 = 2·m - 10

m = -19

krok68 [10]

Answer:

Zahara need to add 4 quarts of water to keep the consistency the same

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the amount of dry ingredients in quarts

y -----> the mount of water in quarts

we know that

Batch 1

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{5}{2}$

Isolate variable y

$y=\frac{2}{5}x$ ----> equation A

Batch 2

For x=10

substitute in the equation A and solve for y

$y=\frac{2}{5}(10)=4$

The ratio batch 2 is $\frac{10}{4}$

therefore

Hershel is designing a square pyramid that needs to have a lateral surface of 440 in². The area of the base is 121 in². Find the

Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

The length of the slant height of the square pyramid is 20 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

The lateral surface area of a regular pyramid is the sum of the areas of its lateral faces.

The general formula for the lateral surface area of a regular pyramid is

$A=\frac{1}{2}pl$

where $p$ represents the perimeter of the base and $l$ the slant height.

From the information given we know that:

The lateral surface area of a square pyramid is 440 in².
The area of the base is 121 in².

And we want to find the the slant height of the pyramid.

For this, we also need to know that the area of a square is given by $A=s^2$ , where s is the length of any side and the perimeter of a square is given by $p=4s$ .

Applying the formula for the area of a square we can find the length of the side

$121=s^2\\s^2=121\\s=\sqrt{121}=11$

The perimeter of the base is

$p=4\cdot(11)=44$

Next, we can apply the formula for the lateral surface area and solve for $l$ the slant height.

$440=\frac{1}{2}44l\\\\\frac{1}{2}\cdot \:44l=440\\\\22l=440\\\\l=20$

The length of the slant height of the square pyramid is 20 in.
