I graphed the points. 

It forms an imaginary right triangle where JK serves as the hypotenuse. We simply use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for the measure of the segment.

long leg: -3 to 4 = 7 units
short leg: -2 to 4 = 6 units

c² = a² + b²
c² = 7² + 6²
c² = 49 + 36
c² = 85
c = √85
c = 9.22 or 9

9/4 = 2.25
2.25 * 3 = 6.75

Among the given choices, (2.25,-0.5) is the closest point of L to the segment JK

Answer:

The correct option is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of end points of a line segment are (-3,4) and (4,-2).

Using section formula.

(x,y)=(\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n}, \frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n})

It is given that point L such that JL and KL form a 3:1 ratio.

(x,y)=(\frac{3(4)+1(-3)}{3+1}, \frac{3(-2)+1(4)}{3+1})

(x,y)=(\frac{9}{4}, \frac{-2}{4})

(x,y)=(2.25, -0.5)

Therefore the correct option is 3.

the width of a rectangle is 7 meters greater than its length.If the area of the rectangle is 170 square meters, write the quadra
Anika [276]

Answer:

x^2+7x-170 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate an area of a rectangle, use the formula A=l*w. We know the width is 7m greater than the length. So w = 7 + x. So the area is A= (7+x)*x.

We also know the area is 170. Substitute this value for A and solve.

170 = (7+x)(x)\\170 = 7x+x^2\\x^2+7x-170 = 0

IN SPANISH <br> How do you find the area with 3.14 I’m so confused <br> PLEASE HELP!!!
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

lets use what we know.

given lengths are: 6, 3, 6, and 15.

We need to split the right triangle from the small little rectangle.

Now we add the lengths of the triangle to get the full length:

6 + 6 = 12

now we need to find the base:

15 - 3 = 12

Now we get our area of the triangle:

12 x 12 = 144

144 divided by 2 = 72

Now the small rectangle's area:

6 x 3 = 18

Add both of their areas to get:

72 + 18 = 90 ft2

2x+2+2x-17=180 what's x?
Alik [6]

Answer:

x= 48.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Add like terms

2x+2x and

2-17

4x-15=180

Now subtract -15 to both sides get x by itself

4x-15+15=180+15

4x=195

Now divide by four to each side to get x by itself again

4x/4 = 195/4

x=48.75
