On a number line, point D is at -3, and point E is at 6. The point F lies on DE. The ratio of DF to FE is 2:3. Where does point
1 answer:
Answer: point F is at <u> 0.6 </u> on the number line
=============================================================
Explanation:
The ratio 2:3 scales up to 2x:3x for some positive real number x.
This means the distance from D to F is 2x units, and the distance from F to E is 3x units. Combine those two smaller distances to get 2x+3x = 5x to represent the full distance from D to E.
D is at -3 and E is at 6. This is a distance of 9 units since |-3-6| = |-9| = 9
Set this equal to the 5x from earlier and solve
5x = 9
x = 9/5
x = 1.8
This leads to 2x = 2*1.8 = 3.6
Therefore, we'll move 3.6 units from -3 to -3+3.6 = 0.6 which is the location of point F on the number line.
Notice that from 0.6 to 6 is 5.4 units and that 3x = 3*1.8 = 5.4 matches up to help confirm the answer.

Answer:
2 square cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
A square is inscribed in a circle whose radius is r = 1 cm
Therefore, the diameter of the circle is 2 r = 2 x 1
= 2 cm.
So the diagonal of the square is 2r.
Using the Pythagoras theorem, we find each of the side of the triangle is .
Therefore, the area of the square is given by
=
Hence the area of the largest square that is contained by a circle of radius 1 cm is 2 cm square.
