Answer: QF = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that if a triangle has a centroid, the ratio of the longer segment to shorter segment is 2:1. We can set up a proportion $\frac{2}{1} = \frac{10}{x}$ , where x is the length of QF. By cross multiplying and dividing, you get x = 5 or QF = 5.

Choose 3 values that would make thi inequalitie true 28+x>42

Y_Kistochka [10]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

14.01, 493, 87

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtracting 28 from both sides tells you the range of values you need to be looking at.

28 + x > 42

x > 14

Any values more than 14 will make the inequality true. Three of them are ...

What is the length of the segment joining the points at (-6, 8) and (6, 3)?

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

13 units

Step-by-step explanation:

So the length of those 2 points is 6+6 = 12.

The height would be 8-3 =5

Using pythagoras, you can find out the length of the line joining the 2 points so:

$5^2 + 12^2 = 169$

$\sqrt{169} = 13$ units

Greg is in a car at the top of a roller-coaster ride. The distance, d, of the car from the ground as the car descends is determi

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

It takes 3 seconds over the interval [0,3]

Step-by-step explanation:

To find when the roller coaster reaches the ground, find when d=0.

$0=144-16t^2$

To solve divide each term by 16 and factor:

$\frac{0}{16}=\frac{144}{16} -\frac{-16t^2}{16} \\0= 9 - t^2\\0=(3-t)(3+t)$

Solve for t by setting each factor to 0.

t-3=0 so t=3

t+3=0 so t=-3

This means the car is in the air from 0 to 3 second.
