Answer:

  (7, -6)

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find point X on the segment from A to B such that ...

  (X -A)/(B -X) = 3/2

  2(X -A) = 3(B -X) . . . . . . cross multiply

  2X -2A = 3B -3X . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  5X = 2A +3B . . . . . . . . add 3X +2A

  X = (2A +3B)/5 . . . . . . . divide by 5

Filling in the given points for A and B, we have ...

  X = (2(4, -3) +3(9, -8))/5 = (8+27, -6-24)/5 = (35, -30)/5

  X = (7, -6)

The point that divides the segment in the proportions 3:2 is (7, -6).

Answer:

The perimeter is 100 feet. This means that all the sides of the shape must add up to equal 100.

x + x + 5 + x - 3 + x + 4 = 100

4x + 5 - 3 + 4 = 100

4x + 6 = 100

4x = 94

x = 94/4

x = 23.5 feet

How does the volume of a sphere compare to that of the volume of a cylinder? What would you say the scale factor for Vol sphere:
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

The volume of a sphere is 2/3 times the volume of a similar cylinder

Scale factor : 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider a sphere of radius r. The volume of the sphere will be given as

V_{s}=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}

Similarly, let us consider a cylinder with its height being twice the radius of the sphere. We will have its volume given as:

V_{c}=\pi r^{2}h

but h = 2r

Hence we have

V_{c}= 2\pi r^{3}h

We can divide the two volumes to get a constant that links them together

\frac{V_{s}}{V_{c}}=\frac{\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}}{2\pi r^{3}h}

this will give us 2/3

Hence the scale factor for Vol sphere: Vol cylinder is 2/3
