Answer:

ZM = 8

WM = 12

XZ = 7

XN = 21

LZ = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The centroid of a triangle is the point of intersection of the midpoint of the each of the three sides of a triangle. The centroid of a triangle is located inside the triangle and it is known as the center of gravity.

The centroid theorem for a triangle states that the centroid of a triangle is located at 2/3 of the distance from the vertex of the triangle of the middle of the opposite side.

ZM = (2/3)WM (centroid theorem)

Therefore: WZ = (1/3)WM

WM = 3WZ = 3 * 4 = 12

ZM = (2/3) * WM = 2/3 * 12 = 8

ZN = (2/3)XN (centroid theorem)

XN = (3/2)ZN = 3/2 * 14 = 21

XN = 21

XZ + ZN = XN

XZ + 14 = 21

XZ = 7

LZ = (2/3)LY (centroid theorem)

Therefore: ZY = (1/3)LY

LY = 3ZY = 3 * 10 = 30

LZ = (2/3) * LY = 2/3 * 30 = 20

12. An equation is shown. 8 1/2 - 3 1/? = 5 3/12<br>What is the value of the missing number?​
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

8\frac{1}{2}-3\frac{1}{?}=5\frac{3}{12}

These are mixed number given.

Suppose the complete mixed number of second place is x.

Converting mixed numbers into fractions.

\frac{17}{2}-x=\frac{63}{12}

Adding x in both sides

\frac{17}{2}=x+\frac{63}{12}

x=\frac{17}{2}-\frac{63}{12}

Making common denominator

x=\frac{102}{12}-\frac{63}{12}

x=\frac{39}{12}

x=\frac{13}{4}

In mixed number form:

x=3\frac{1}{4}

So comparing with given equation, the '?' sign will be equal to 4.

Hence the answer is 4    :  Answer

Express y=3x+2 in general form
katrin [286]

General form of a linear equation is ax+by+c=0 where a,b, and c are three real numbers.

So, we can shift all the terms in one side of the equation. Hence, first step is to remove y from the left side. So, subtract y from each sides.

y-y=3x+2-y

0= 3x - y +2 (By simplifying)

So, the general form of the given equation is 3x-y+2=0.
