Answer:

5,18,12 cms are the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a triangle ABC. Point D is the centroid.

E,F and G are midpoints of CB, BA and AC respectively.

AE, BF and CG are medians of the triangle.

We know that centroid divides the median in the ratio 2:1

Using this we find that AD:DE = 2:1

Or AD+DE:DE = (2+1):1

AE:DE =3:1

15:DE = 3:1 . Hence DE =5 cm.

On the similar grounds we find that DF = 1/3 BF = 9

Hence BD = DF-BF = 27-9 =18 cm

and also

CG = 3/2 times CD = 12 cm.

The largest possible complete design that can be painted on a 24’ x 16’ wall is 252' by 189'

<h3>Scale drawing</h3>

Scale drawing involves drawing a drawing in a different size and dimension that is proportional to the original dimension

<h3>Dimensions</h3>

The dimensions of the design for the farm scene painting is given as:

$12" \times 9"$

The dimensions of the wall is given as:

$24' \times 16'$

Convert feet to inches

$24' \times 16' = (24 \times 12") \times (16 \times 12")$

$24' \times 16' = (288") \times (192")$

Divide the dimensions of the wall by the painting to get the scale ratios (k)

$k = \frac{288}{12}$

$k = 24$

Also, we have:

$k =\frac{192}{9}$

$k =21.33$

Remove decimal (do not approximate)

$k =21$

By comparison;

21 is less than 24

Multiply 21 by the dimensions of the painting

So, we have:

$Length = 12 \times 21 = 252$

$Width = 9 \times 21 = 189$

Hence, the largest possible complete design that can be painted on a 24’ x 16’ wall is 252' by 189'

Factor the linear expression: 12x + 9

$3(4x + 3)$
you find what number goes into both number and pull that number outside and then write. 3 (_x+_). you are reversing the distributive property. Hope this helped

Ln(x+2)-ln(4x+3)=ln(1/2*x)

iris [78.8K]

<span>ln(x+2)-ln(4x+3)=ln(1/2*x)

Using properties of logarithms

</span> $\frac{ln(x+2)}{ln(4x+3)} = ln \frac{x}{2}
\\ \\ \frac{x+2}{4x+3} = \frac{x}{2} 
\\ \\2(x+2)=x(4x+3)

2x+4=4x^2+3x
\\ \\ 4 x^{2} +x-4=0
\\ \\ x= \frac{-b+/- \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{2a} 
\\ \\ x= \frac{ -1+/-\sqrt{1+64} }{8} 
\\ \\ x_{1} = \frac{-1+ \sqrt{65} }{8} 
\\ \\ x_{2} = \frac{-1- \sqrt{65} }{8} 

Check:

When you substitute x_{2} into
\\ \\ ln(4x+3)=ln(4* \frac{-1- \sqrt{65} }{8} ) =ln( \frac{-1- \sqrt{65} }{2} ) 

you will get negative number under ln, that is impossible ,


$

so x2 is not a solution of this logarithmic equation.

Only x1 is a solution.
