Answer:
(-2, 6)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since you want a 1 to 7 ratio, you want to divide the line into 2 parts, where one part has a length of 1 and the other has a length of 7. So the total length of the line is 8.
Start by looking at the difference in the X and Y coordinates.
X = | -4 - 12 | = | -16 | = 16
Y = | 7 - -1 | = | 8 | = 8
You could calculate the length of the line using pythagorian's theorem, but that's not needed. Simply use similar triangles. We have a right triangle with legs of length 16 and length 8. We want a similar triangle that is 1/8th as large (to get the desired 1 to 7 ratio). So divide both legs by 8, getting lengths of 16/8 = 2, and 8/8 = 1.
Now add those calculated offsets to point A.
A has an X coordinate of -4 and B has an X coordinate of 12 and the X coordinate for C must be between those limits. So calculate -4 + 2 = -2 to get the X coordinate for C.
The Y coordinate of A is 7 and the Y coordinate of B is -1. And since the Y coordinate must be between then, you have 7 - 1 = 6.
So the coordinates for C is (-2, 6)
A local hamburger shop sold a total of 712 burgers on Tuesday
There are 62 more cheeseburgers than hamburgers
let cheeseburers = c
let hamburgers = h
h + 62 = c
c + h = 712
Plug in h + 62 for c
(h + 62) + h = 712
2h + 62 = 712
2h + 62 (-62) = 712 (-62)
2h = 650
2h/2 = 650/2
h = 325
There are 325 hamburgers sold on Tuesday
c = 325 + 62
c = 387
<em>There are 387 chesseburgers sold on tuesday </em>(in case you were wondering)
hope this helps
How does your figure look like?
Answer:
$27.59
Step-by-step explanation:
1) First we calculate the sales tax:
30 x .15 = 4.5
30 - 4.5 = 25.5
2) Now we calculate sales tax
25.5 x .082 = 2.09
25.5 + 2.09 = $27.59
We are given the height of Joe which is 1.6 meters, the length of his shadow is 2 meters when he stands 3 meters from the base of the floodlight.
First, we have to illustrate the problem. Then we can observe two right triangles formed, one is using Joe and the length of the shadow, the other is the floodlight and the sum of the distance from the base plus the length of the shadow. To determine the height of the floodlight, use ratio and proportion:
1.6 / 2 = x / (2 +3)
where x is the height of the flood light
solve for x, x = 4. Therefore, the height of the floodlight is 4 meters.
