Answer:

PC = 12 units

AP = 10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The centroid of a triangle is the intersection of the three medians of the triangle
  • Each median connecting a vertex with the midpoint of the opposite side
  • The centroid divides each median into two parts, which are always in the ratio 2: 1 from the vertex

In ΔACE

∵ P is the centroid of it

∴ P divides CF the ratio 2: 1 from C

∴ PC = 2 PF

∵ PF = 6 units

∴ PC = 2(6)

∴ PC = 12 units

∵ P divides AD at the ratio 2: 1 from A

→ That means AD = 2 + 1 = 3 parts, and AP = \frac{2}{3} AD

∴ AP = \frac{2}{3} AD

∵ AD = 15 units

∴ AP = AP = \frac{2}{3} (15)

∴ AP = 10 units

I believe it's 12 because 5*16=80. So, then you would subtract 4 from 16 and gat 12.

Why is the value of q?
Rudiy27

Given:

QSR is a right triangle.

QT = 10

TR = 4

To find:

The value of q.

Solution:

Hypotenuse of QSR = QT + TR

                                 = 10 + 4

                                 = 14

Geometric mean of similar right triangle formula:

$\frac{\text { hypotenuse }}{\text { leg }}=\frac{\text { leg }}{\text { part }}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{14}{q} =\frac{q}{4}

Do cross multiplication.

$\Rightarrow14\times 4 =q\times q

$\Rightarrow 56 =q^2

Switch the sides.

$\Rightarrow q^2 =56

Taking square root on both sides.

\Rightarrow q =2 \sqrt{14}

The value of q is 2 \sqrt{14}.

How do I solve N(1/5) = 2/15
dem82 [27]
N(1/5) = (2/15)
divide both sides by (1/5)
n = (2/15)/(1/5)
to divide fractions, cross multiply, e.g. (2*5)/(15*1) = 10/15
n = 10/15 = 2/3 or 0.666666.
