Answer:

15:6:14

Step-by-step explanation:

AB:BD is split into a total of 3+4=7 parts.

AC:CD is split into a total of 3+2=5 parts.

So, if the two ratios are put on a number line together with the points A, B, C, and D, the number line would be split into a total of 35 parts (the LCM of 7 and 5).

AB would be (3/7)*35=15.

CD would be (2/5)*35=14

BC would be 35-(15+14)=6

So, the ratio is 15:6:14.

Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the segment whose endpoints are H(10, 1) and K(4, 7).

Oliga [24]

The formula of a midpoint of a segment AB:

$A(x_A;\ y_A);\ B(x_B;\ y_B)\\\\M_{AB}\left(\dfrac{x_A+x_B}{2};\ \dfrac{y_A+y_B}{2}\right)$

We have:

H(10; 1); K(4; 7)

substitute:

$M_{HK}\left(\dfrac{10+4}{2};\ \dfrac{1+7}{2}\right)\to M_{HK}\left(\dfrac{14}{2};\ \dfrac{8}{2}\right)\to M_{HK}(7;\ 4)$

Answer: (7, 4)
