Answer:

m = 3 , n = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Using Section Formula.</u>

<u />If \ the \ line \ segment \ AB \ where  \ A = (x _1, y_1) \ and \ B = (x_2, y_2) \ divided \ by \ P =(x , y) \ in \ the \ ratio \ a : b,\\\\Then \  the \ points \  of \  P  \ \\\\x = \frac{ax_2 + bx_1}{a+b} \ and \ y = \frac{ay_2 + by_1}{a+b}<u />

   Here (x_1 , y_ 1 ) = ( -7 , 1 ) \ and \ (x_ 2 , y _ 2 ) = (m , 6)\\\\ratio\ a:b  = 3 : 2\\\\Therefore, P (x, y) \\\\x = \frac{3m + (2\times -7)}{5} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ [ \ x =  -1 \ ] \\\\-1 = \frac{3m - 14}{5}\\\\- 5 = 3m - 14\\\\-5 + 14 = 3m\\\\9 = 3m \\\\m = 3<u />

  y =\frac{3\times 6 + 2 \times 1}{5}\\\\n = \frac{18 + 2}{5} = \frac{20}{5} = 4

<u />

1) You are designing a new kiddie soccer arena. The area of the rectangular
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

The length of the rectangular field is 12 ft and the width is 5 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is:

\text{Area} = \text{length}\times \text{width}

The area of a rectangular field is, <em>A</em> = 60 ft.

The length of the field is:

l = w + 7

Compute the width of the field as follows:

\text{Area} = \text{length}\times \text{width}

60=(w+7)\times w\\\\60=w^{2}+7w\\\\w^{2}+7w-60=0\\

Factorize the last equation by splitting the middle term as follows:

w^{2}+7w-60=0\\w^{2}+12w-5w-60=0\\w(w+12)-5(w+12)=0\\(w-5)(w+12)=0

Now, since the width of rectangular field cannot be negative, the width is 5 ft.

Compute the length as follows:

l = w + 7

 = 5 + 7

 = 12

The length of the rectangular field is 12 ft.

Given parallelogram ABCD, find x, y, length AB and Length BC.
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

x = 18  y = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

x  + 5 = 2x - 13

x - 2x = -13 - 5

-x = -18

x = 18

2y - 2 = 4y - 12

2y - 4y = -12 + 2

-2y = -10|:(-2)

y = 5
