In 524.2, 5 is in the hundreds place, so it stands for 500. In 254.6, 5 is in the tens place, so it stands for 50. You know what place it is in by how far to the left or right it is from the decimal point.
We need to look at 2 similar triangles
1) big one: legs - a,b, and hypotenuse - c
2)small one: legs - h,s, and hypotenuse - b.
Corresponding sides:
hypotenuse - c and hypotenuse - b,
big leg - b and big leg - s,
small leg - a, and small leg h.
?(/b(big leg, big triangle)= b(hypotenuse, small triangle )/s (big leg, small triangle)
? should be hypotenuse of the big triangle, c.
Answer is second one c.
( - 10, - 22 )
using the midpoint formula,
let the other endpoint have coordinates (x, y) then
(2 + x ) = - 4 ( multiply through by 2 )
2 + x = - 8 ( subtract 2 from both sides ) then
x = -8 - 2 = - 10 ← value of x-coordinate
Similarly for y-coordinate
(8 + y ) = - 7 ( multiply through by 2 )
8 + y = - 14 ( subtract 8 from both sides )
y = - 14 - 8 = - 22 ← y -coordinate
the other endpoint is ( - 10, - 22 )
Let's see here. Sarah is one person. Her three friends are three more. That means 4 people are decorating picture frames. However, we only have 3 rolls of ribbon! We can give an entire roll to each person, but one person would have no roll to decorate with! What do we do? We have to divide this. By definition, divide means to separate something(in this case, ribbon rolls) into (equal) parts. So, we must divide them so everyone gets an EQUAL ribbon roll length.
