Answer:

S is closest to B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a directed line segment from point A to B.

Point P divides the line A to B in a ratio 3:4.

Point Q divides the line A to B in a ratio 4:3.

Point R divides the line A to B in a ratio 2:5.

Point S divides the line A to B in a ratio 5:2.

To find:

The point which is closest to the point B.

Solution:

Here, to find the point closest to B we need to find the distances PB, QB, RB and SB.

We can see the sum of ratio 3:4, 4:3, 2:5 and 5:2 is 7.

Let the distance between A and B be 7 units.

Now, the distances can be found easily.

PB = \dfrac{4}{7}\times 7 = 4\ units

QB = \dfrac{3}{7}\times 7 = 3\ units

RB = \dfrac{5}{7}\times 7 = 5\ units

SB = \dfrac{2}{7}\times 7 = 2\ units

The point which has the minimum distance from point B, will be nearest to B.

We can clearly observe that SB is the minimum distance.

Therefore, <em>S is closest to B</em>.

How to change 50/12 to a mixed number?
11111nata11111 [884]
A mixed number is one that has an integer along with a proper fraction, so that would be (for this improper fraction):

50/12 = 4 1/6

12 goes into 50, 4 times with a remainder of 2

you get: 4 and 2/12, but 2/12 can be reduced further to 1/6

so that's how i got the answer of 4 1/6

Answer: 54 degrees
explanation: i haven’t learned this yet but it looks like those two angles are complementary angles so the other one would have to 54 so it adds up to 90 degrees

Bisect the angle a b c
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

BR bisects the angle ABC, and is called the bisector of angle ABC.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Draw an arc with B as the centre to cut the arms, BA and BC, of the angle at P and Q respectively.

Step 2:  Using the same radius, draw an arc centred at P.

Step 3:  With centre Q and using the same radius, draw an arc to cut the arc in Step 2 at R.

Step 4:  Join, B, the vertex of the angle to the point R.
