The endpoints of the directed line segment AB are A(−2, −3) and B(10, 6) . Find the coordinates of point P along AB so that the
ratio of AP to PB is 2 to 1.

Answer:
(2, 0)
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the midpoint theorem;
M(X, Y) = {ax1+bx2/a+b, ay1+by2/a+b}
Given the coordinates A(−2, −3) and B(10, 6) divided within the ratio 2 to 1;
X = ax1+bx2/a+b
X = 2(-2)+1(10)/2+1
X = -4+10/3
X = 6/3
X = 2
Similarly;
Y = ay1+by2/a+b
Y = 2(-3)+1(6)/2+1
Y = -6+6/3
Y = 0/3
Y = 0
Hence the required coordinate P is at (2, 0)

2(b + 3) - (7 + b) = -7
2b + 6 - 7 - b = -7
b = -6 + 7 - 7
b = -6

Answer:
72π feet
Step-by-step explanation:
circumference of circle= 2πr
Diameter= 2(radius)
radius of circle
= 72 ÷2
= 36 ft
Circumference
= 2(π)(36)
= 72π ft
