What are the coordinates of point G ,which divides DE un the ratio 2:3?​

Mathematics

Answer:

(5, 7.8)

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several ways to solve this problem, but all of them involve similar triangles and ratios.

See the attached image.

The horizontal distance between points D and E is 11 - 1 = 10.  If a segment 10 units long is divided in the ratio 2:3 (as shown by the two smaller segments of length  a  and  b), then

\frac{a}{b}=\frac{2}{3}\\\frac{a}{a+b}=\frac{2}{2+3}\\\frac{a}{10}=\frac{2}{5}

"Cross-multiply" to get

5a = 20

a = 4

To get the x-coordinate of point G, add 4 to 1, the x-coordinate of D.

The x-coordinate of G is 1 + 4 = 5.

The same idea can be used on the second coordinate of G.

The vertical distance from D to E is 15 - 3 = 12.

\frac{a}{b}=\frac{2}{3}\\\frac{a}{a+b}=\frac{2}{2+3}\\\frac{a}{12}=\frac{2}{5}

5a = 24

a = 24/5 = 4.8

The y=coordinate of G is 3 + 4.8 = 7.8

How to find the area of a tilted square?
Katena32 [7]
A square has 4 sides of equal legnths
in your point of view, it looks tilted because it is actually a rhombus, a paralellogram (4 sided figure with 2 pairs of paralell sides) with 4 equal sides

to find the area, just multiply  base by height (look at ilustration/attachmtns)

Margot is trying to decide between cable and satellite TV. Cable has a package of $49.99 a month for the basic package, plus $9.
VashaNatasha [74]
The cost of cable (c) in terms of months (m) is
  c = (49.99 +9.95 +9.95 -10.00)m
  c = 59.89m

The cost of satellite TV (s) in terms of months is
  s = 125.00 +49.95m

The difference in price is ...
  s - c = (125 +49.95m) -(59.89m)
  s - c = 125 -9.94m

At 12 months, the difference in price is
  s - c = 125 -9.94*12 = 5.72
This number is positive, which means ...
  the Cable company will save Margot money over a 12-month period.

At 24 months, the difference in price is
  s - c = 125 -9.94*24 = -113.56
This number is negative, which means ...
  the Satellite TV company will save Margot money over a 24-month period.


_____
A graph of the costs shows a cross-over at 12.5 months. Until then, the Cable provider is less expensive. Over terms longer than that, the Satellite TV provider is less expensive.
