Throwing a ball, shooting a cannon, diving from a platform and hitting a golf ball are all examples of situations that can be modeled by quadratic functions. ... In many of these situations you will want to know the highest or lowest point of the parabola, which is known as the vertex.
Answer:
X : Z = 6 : 5
Step-by-step explanation:
X : Y = 3 : 1
Double both sides
X : Y = 6 : 2
Y : Z= 2 : 5
Combined
X : Y : Z = 6 : 2 : 5
Therefor
X : Z = 6 : 5
The stirrup bone is the shortest bone in the body?
Use <em>CPCTC</em> and make ratios and proportionalities to find the value of segment PW:
If △WPJ∼△DNJ, then according to CPCTC, WP must be proportional to DN and PJ must be proportional to JN. Now, we can make a ratio:
Substitute the values that are given in the diagram.
DN=87.5
NJ=56
PJ=64

Solve for x. You can do it by cross-multiplication.
The measure of segment WP is 100 meters.
