Answer: (5.2, 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : G(1,2) and K (8,12).

To find :  The coordinates of P that partitions gk in the ratio of 3:2

Section formula :

The line segment having endpoints (a,b) and (c,d) is divided in ration m:n by point M , then the coordinates of the M will be :-

x=\dfrac{mc+na}{m+n}\ ;\ y=\dfrac{md+nb}{m+n}

Similarly,

x=\dfrac{3(8)+2(1)}{3+2}\ ;\ y=\dfrac{3(12)+2(2)}{3+2}

Now simplify , we get

x=5.2  and y=8

Hence, the coordinates of P that partitions GK in the ratio of 3:2 = (5.2, 8)

A point P on the line segment GK may be parametrically represented as

P = (1-t)G + tK

t is a real parameter which controls where on the segment P is.  t=0 means P=G, t=1 means P=K.  We're interested in the t that gives a 3:2 ratio for PG:PK.  That's closer to K so t>1/2.   t=3/(3+2) = 3/5.

P=(1-3/5)(1,2) + (3/5)(8,12) = (2/5,4/5)+(24/5,36/5)=(26/5,40/5)=(26/5,8)

Answer: (26/5, 8)

You can set this up as 2 fractions equal to each other, like ratios.

18/11=108/x

Cross multiply and you get 18x=1,188

Now divide both sides by 18 and get x.

x=66.

If the height of the building is 108ft, the width is 66ft.

A. The ratio of the person's shadow to their height is 6:2 or 3:1, so the height of the shadow is 360/3 or 120 m.
B. The model car's length divided by the ratio to the real car, which is 8.5/0.8 = 10.625 cm long.

Find the value of 5(a-4b) when a =-7 and b=1/4
tatiyna

Answer:

- 40

Step-by-step explanation:

5(a - 4b) \\  = 5 \bigg(- 7 - 4 \times \frac{1}{4} \bigg ) \\ = 5 \bigg(- 7 - 1 \bigg ) \\  = 5 \times ( - 8) \\  =  - 40
