Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of:

First piece = x

Second piece = 4x

Third piece = 5x

Equation: 30 = 4x + 5x + x

Solving the Equation:

10x = 30  

x = 3

Lengths of:

First piece = 3 inches

Second piece = 12 inches

Third piece = 15 inches

Find P on AB that is 2/3 of the distance from A(-3,-5) to B(9,4).
Ludmilka [50]

A line segment can be divided into ratios.

<em>The coordinate of P on line segment AB is (5,1)</em>

Given

A = (-3,-5)

B = (9,4)

The position of P from A to B is:

P_A = \frac 23

So, from P to B would be:

P_B =1 -  \frac 23

P_B = \frac 13

So, the ratio is:

m : n = \frac 23 : \frac 13

Simplify

m : n = 2 :1

<u>The coordinate of point P is:</u>

P = (\frac{mx_2 + nx_1}{m + n},\frac{my_2 + ny_1}{m + n})

So, we have:

P = (\frac{2 \times 9 + 1 \times -3}{2 + 1},\frac{2 \times 4 + 1 \times -5}{2 + 1})

P = (\frac{15}{3},\frac{3}{3})

P = (5,1)

<em>Hence, the coordinate of P is (5,1)</em>
