Answer:

  • 56.25 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

As per diagram, the two triangles are similar, as all angles are congruent (one is vertical, one is right, one is the

Let the distance across the river be x.

<u>The ratio of corresponding sides is same. Find x using ratios:</u>

  • x/45 = 75/60
  • x = 45*75/60
  • x = 56.25 feet

Divide. Reduce the answer to lowest terms. 3/4 ÷ 1/3
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

9/4

Step-by-step explanation:

When you divide by a number, whole number or fraction, it's exactly like multiplying by its inverse.

Like if you divide 4 by 2,  you can easily express that has 4 * 1/2.

In the same manner, when you divide 3/4 by 1/3, you can say that you're multiplying 3/4 by 3/1

The result of 3/4 * 3/1 = 9 / 4

Which you cannot simplify because 9 and 4 don't have any common factors (other than 1).  The only other way to express it would be 3²/2² or (3/2)²

Triangle PQR hAS vertices P (4,-1),Q(-2,7), and R (9,9). find an equation of the median from R
strojnjashka [21]
A median intersects at the midpoint of the opposite length. The midpoint is:

x,m = (4+-2)/2 = 1
y,m = (-1+7)/2 = 3

The midpoint is at (1,3). With this point and point R(9,9), the equation would be:

y = mx + b, where
m = (9 - 3)/(9 - 1) = 0.75
b is the y-intercept
Substituting any point,
3 = 0.75(1)+b
b = 2.25

Thus, the equation for the median is:

y = 0.75x + 2.25
