Please help me I’m confused
1 answer:
A midpoint is a point that divides a given line into two equal halves.The answers to the questions are:
1. BC = 89
b. AB = 45
c. AC = 44
2. The coordinate of I is 2.5
3. J = 19
4. MQ = 32
5. NO = 13
6. NO = 23
b. MN = 25
A line segment can be divided into different fractions. Where the point that divides the line segment into equal parts is the midpoint. however, number line is a system that shows the location or positions of all directed numbers.
The given questions can be solved as follows:
1. Given that point A is between BC and AB = 4x -3, BC = 7x + 5, AC = 5x - 16
But,
BC = AB + AC
7x + 5 = (4x -3) + (5x - 16)
= 9x - 19
7x + 5 = 9x - 19
19 + 5 = 9x - 7x
24 = 2x
x =
x = 12
So that;
a. BC = 7x + 5
= 7(12) + 5
BC = 89
The value of BC is 89.
b. AB = 4x -3
= 4(12) - 3
AB = 45
Thus AB has a value of 45.
c. AC = 5x - 16
= 5(12) -16
AC = 44
The value of AC is 44.
2. Given that H is the mid point of GI, and G = 8, I = -3.
Then;
I = 2.5
The coordinate of I is 2.5
3. A midpoint is a point that divides a line segment in to two equal halves. Given that J is the midpoint of KL. KL = 38
J =
=
J = 19
The value of the midpoint J is 19.
4. It can be deduced from the conditions given in the question that:
MQ = MN + NO + OP + PQ
= 8 + 8 + 16 (NB: OP + PQ = 16)
MQ = 32
Thus, value of MQ is 32.
5. Since P is the mid point of NQ, and OP = 11, OQ = 35
Then;
PQ = OQ - OP
= 35 - 11
PQ = 24
Since, PQ = NP =24
Then;
NO = NP - OP
= 24 - 11
NO = 13
NO has a length of 13.
6. NO = 2y + 11, OP = 3y - 2, NP = 6y + 3 and MP = 64.
But,
NO + OP = NP
(2y + 11) + (3y - 2) = 6y + 3
5y + 9 = 6y + 3
9 - 3 = 6y - 5y
y = 6
So that;
a. NO = 2y + 11
= 2(6) + 11
NO = 23
Here, the value of NO is 23.
b. MN = MP - NP
But,
NP = 6y + 3
= 6(6) + 3
NP = 39
Then;
MN = 64 - 39
MN = 25
So that MN has a value of 25.
