Step-by-step explanation:
△BAC ≅ △EDF (given)
Therefore,
BC=EF
x-4=19
x=23
Answer:
Let x and y be the two numbers. Then
yx=57 and x−y=20
Cross multiplying the proportion
5x=7y or y=75x
So, x−y=20
x−75x=20⇒77x−5x=72x=20
⇒x=2140=70
y=75x=75×70=50
So smaller number is 50.
Check :yx=5070=57 and 70−50=20
G divides each median in the ratio of 2 to 1 (the longer side goes from G to the angle)
triangle AMN is similar to triangle ABC (why?)
AMN is a scaled version of ABC (by a factor of ⅔)
its area should be scaled by (⅔)^2
To find the equation of a line knowing two points it passes through, we must first find the slope and then substitute the x and y values to figure out the y intercept.
First thing is to find the slope using the formula m = Δy ÷ Δx
m = 5 - (-2) ÷ 4 - (-5)
Now we simplify
m = 7 ÷ 9
Our equation so far is y = 7/9x + b. Now we can substitute the values of x and y from a point to figure out the answer. The equation here uses the point (4,5)
5 = 7/9 · 4 + b
Get b on one side
5 - 28/9 = b
Simplify
b = 1 + 8/9
That makes the equation of the line y = 7/9x + (1 + 8/9)
