Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
P = 4 + 6 + (3y - 2) Remove the brackets
P = 10 + 3y - 2 Combine
P = 8 + 3y
Note 3y must be less than 8. That's because 2 sides of any triangle must be larger than the 3rd side or else you don't have a triangle.
Since these are similar triangles you can use any two corresponding sides to figure out the scale factor.
Use the bottom side. Going from the first triangle to the second the scale factor is:
15/9 = 5/3
Solve for x by simplifying both sides of the equation then isolating teh varible.
your answer = - 1/7
Refer to the graph shown below. It confirms that points A, B and P are
collinear.
Calculate the length of AP (as a).
a = √[(6 - 2)² + (11 - 3)²]
= 8.9443
Calculate the length of BP (as b).
b = √[(8 - 6)² + (15 - 11)²]
= 4.4721
Calculate ratio a/b.
a/b = 8.9443/4.4721 = 2
Therefore P partitions AB in a 2:1 ratio so that AP = 2*BP.
Answer: 2:1 ratio.
