Given:

AB= 20, BV=12, VA=14 and SR is a mid segment.

To find:

The lengths of SR and AR.

Solution:

SR is a mid segment. So, SR is parallel to the non-included side BV and the length of SR is half of BV.

$SR=\dfrac{1}{2}BV$

$SR=\dfrac{1}{2}(12)$

$SR=6$

SR is a mid segment. So, it divides the included sides in two equal parts. It means R is the midpoint of VA.

$AR=\dfrac{1}{2}VA$

$AR=\dfrac{1}{2}(14)$

$AR=7$

Therefore, the measure of SR is 6 units and the measure of AR is 7 units.

(6,9) and (u,-4) slope equal 13/9 what does u equal

garik1379 [7]

The formula to find slope with 2 coordinates is $\frac{ y_{2}- y_{1} }{ x_{2}- x_{1} }$ .

Now plug in the variables.

$\frac{-4-9}{u-6} = \frac{13}{9}$

$-4-9=-13$
$u-6=-9$

We must solve for u by adding 6 on both sides of the equation, giving us -3. So, u is -3.

Remember when we do slope, if both the numerator and denominator are negative numbers, it is the same as if they were positive. That is why the both equations resulted into negative number instead of positive numbers.
