Given:
ΔABC ΔDEF
To find:
The length of median CP
Solution:
In ΔABC,
AP = 12, BP = 12 and PC = 3x - 12
In ΔDEF,
DQ = 16, QE = 16 and FQ = 2x + 8
If two triangles are similar, then their median is proportional to the corresponding sides.
Do cross multiplication.
Add 192 on both sides.
Subtract 24x from both sides.
Divide by 24 on both sides.
⇒ 12 = x
Substitute x = 12 in CP.
CP = 3(12) - 12
= 36 - 12
= 24
The length of median CP is 24.
It will take 0.4 seconds to get to the home plate.
Given:
The speed of the pitch thrown by Justin is 100 miles per hour
The distance of home plate from the pitching rubber is 60.5 feet
To find:
The time taken by a pitch to reach the home plate
Solution:
The distance home plate from the pitching rubber = d = 60.5 feet
The speed of pitch thrown by Justin = s = 100 miles/hr
The time taken by a pitch to reach the home plate = t =?
The speed of the moving object is given by dividing the distance covered from the time taken to cover that distance.
In an hour there are 3600 seconds, then in 0.000114583 hours will be:
It will take 0.4 seconds to get to the home plate.

Answer:
x= 5.6
Step-by-step explanation:
we will need to put the information we currently have into an equation:
10•2•x= 112
then multiply 10•2 which equals 20...then the equation wil turn out like this:
20•x=112
now you will isolate the x... but how?? dividing 20 by itslef.. cancelling it out, and if you do one thing to the other side of the equation, you have to do it to the other...
20/20•x=112/20
you will end up with x= 122/20
you can use a calculator for this step, but to practice long division... (check the screen shot thingie)
hope this helped !! ^^
