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

Piecewise functions have different definitions, depending on when you evaluate them.

Given an input x, your function returns:

  • 2x if the input is negative
  • 1 if the input lies between 0 (included) and 2 (excluded)
  • the square root of x if the input is greater than 2 (included)

You want to know what f(0) is. In other words, you want to know what happens if we give 0 as input.

The piecewise definition tells us that, if the input is 0, the function outputs 1.

So, you have f(0) = 1.

What is 30% of 70. show your work<br>​
mamaluj [8]

Answer: 21

Step-by-step explanation:

we have two simple equations:

1) 70=100%

2) x=30%

where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:

70/x=100%/30%

6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 30% of 70

70/x=100/30

(70/x)*x=(100/30)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by

70=3.33333333333*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (3.33333333333) to get x

70/3.33333333333=x

The fore, the answer is 21

3c+6=18 how do you work this problem?
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

c = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

3c + 6 = 18

Reorder the terms:

6 + 3c = 18

Solving

6 + 3c = 18

Solving for variable 'c'.

Move all terms containing c to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-6' to each side of the equation.

6 + -6 + 3c = 18 + -6

Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0

0 + 3c = 18 + -6

3c = 18 + -6

Combine like terms: 18 + -6 = 12

3c = 12

Divide each side by '3'.

c = 4

Simplifying

c = 4

Suppose the goal for mr. Luockwoods class had been 250 cans. Then 550 cans would have been what percent of the goal?
ser-zykov [4K]

220% of the goal. This is because 500 cans would be 200% but since it’s 550, the extra 50% would equal to 220%.
