The point M is given by coordinates; (8.5, 2.16)

<h3>Ratio coordinate</h3>

The ratio XM : MY is 5:1

Therefore, on the x-axis;

The coordinate of M can be evaluated as follows;

  • 5/1 = (a-1)/(10-a)

By Cross-product;

  • 50 -5a = a -1

  • 51 = 6a

  • a = 8.5.

Similarly, on the y-axis;

The coordinate of M can be evaluated as follows;

  • 5/1 = (b-(-2))/(3-b)

By Cross-product;

  • 15 -5b = b +2

  • 13 = 6b

  • b = 2.16.

Ultimately, the coordinate of point M is; (8.5, 2.16)

I don’t know how to do this question pls help

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle P is mapped onto Q so P is the initial triangle that will transformed.

We can rotate counterclockwise 90° but we cannot do it about the origin (0,0) because the red point (5, 1) will end up at ( -1, 5) .

We see that the point (5, 1)  ends up at ( -2, 4) so the center of rotation is lower than the origin.

The transformation is rotation of 90° about the point (0,-1)

Express the area A of a circle as a function of its​ radius, r. Determine the area of a circle whose radius is 11 inches. That​
nekit [7.7K]
<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

The function represents the area of a circle(A) is given by :-

A(r)=2\pi r

To determine the area of a circle whose radius is 11 inches. , we put the value of r=11 inches, we get

A(11)=2\pi (11)

Now, we put \pi=\dfrac{22}{7} in the above function , we get

A(11)=2(\dfrac{22}{7} )(11)\\\\\Rightarrow\ A=56.5714285714\approx56.57

Estimate a 10% tip on a bill of $158.71 by first rounding the bill amount to the nearest ten dollars.
irga5000 [103]

158.71 rounded to the nearest ten dollars would be $160.00

 then to estimate 10% since 10% starts with a 1, just remove the zero from both numbers

 so 160 becomes 16

 the tip would be $16

If CE bisects ZBCD and if m ZBCE = 3x - 6
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

m∠BCD = 90°

∠BCD is a right angle

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>If a ray bisects an angle, that means it divides the angle into two equal parts in measure</em>

∵ Ray CE bisects ∠BCD

→ Means divide it into two angles BCE and ECD which equal in measures

∴ m∠BCE = m∠ECD = \frac{1}{2} m∠BCD

∵ m∠BCE = 3x - 6

∵ m∠ECD = 2x + 11

→ Equate them to find x

∴ 3x - 6 = 2x + 11

→ Add 6 to both sides

∵ 3x - 6 + 6 = 2x + 11 + 6

∴ 3x = 2x + 17

→ Subtract 2x from both sides

∵ 3x - 2x = 2x - 2x + 17

∴ x = 17

∵ m∠BCE =  \frac{1}{2} m∠BCD

→ Substitute x in the measure of ∠BCE to find it, then use it to

   find m∠BCD

∵ m∠BCE = 3(17) - 6 = 51 - 6

∴  m∠BCE = 45°

∵ 45 = \frac{1}{2} m∠BCD

→ Multiply both sides by 2

∴ 90 = m∠BCD

∴ m∠BCD = 90°

→ The measure of the acute angle is less than 90°, the measure of

   the obtuse angle is greater than 90°, and the measure of the

   right angle is 90°

∴ ∠BCD is a right angle
