9514 1404 393

Answer:

  c.)  57 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The centroid divides the median into parts with a 2:1 ratio.

  OM : OP = 2 : 1

  OM : MP = 2 : (2+1) = 2 : 3

As a fraction with MP on top, this is ...

  MP/OM = 3/2

  MP = (3/2)OM = 3/2×(38 cm)

  MP = 57 cm

<em>Comment on the answer choices</em>

Often, you can eliminate a number of the choices in a multiple-choice question just by testing whether they are reasonable. Here, the longer part of a line segment has length 38, so the whole segment will not be shorter than that. The choices 19 and 25.5 make no sense.

The remaining choices are 114 cm and 57 cm. The former is 3 times the length of the given segment, which the drawing tells us is unreasonable.

The only reasonable choice offered is 57 cm.

A swimming pool had 2.5 million liters of water in it. Some water evaporated, and then the pool only had 2million liters of wate

First you would subtract 2.5 by 2 and you get .5. Next you would find the percentage of .5 out of 2.5, you would then get 0.0125%

Give a rule for finding the first of four consecutive integers if you know the sum of the four integers.
tankabanditka [31]

If we write the first integer as the variable n, all numbers that come after it can be written as n+1, n+2, etc.

so the sum of four consecutive integers is:

sum = n + (n+1) + (n+2) + (n+3)

if we simplify:

sum = 4n +6

and if we want to know what the first integer is, we can re-write the equation as:

\frac{sum-6}{4} = n

and that is your answer.
