We have a right triangle $\triangle ABC$ where the legs $AB$ and $BC$ have lengths $6$ and $3\sqrt{3},$ respectively. Medians $AM$ and $CN$ meet at point $P.$ What is the length of $CP$

Answers

Answer 1

By using Pythagoras theorem and distance formula the length of CP is obtained as 3.43 units.

What is Pythagoras Theorem?

In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, according to Pythagoras's Theorem. These triangle's three sides are known as the Perpendicular, Base, and Hypotenuse. Due to its position opposite the 90° angle, the hypotenuse in this case is the longest side.

To find the length of CP, first find the coordinates of point P, and then use the distance formula to calculate the length of CP.

Let A be at the origin (0, 0), and let B be on the positive x-axis at (6, 0). Then we can find the coordinates of C using the Pythagorean theorem -

AC² + BC² = AB²

AC² + (3√3)² = 6²

AC² = 9

AC = 3

So C is located at (3, 3√3). We can find the coordinates of M by taking the average of the coordinates of A and B, which gives -

M = ((0+6)/2, (0+0)/2) = (3, 0)

Similarly, find the coordinates of N by taking the average of the coordinates of B and C, which gives -

N = ((6+3)/2, (0+3√3)/2) = (4.5, 1.5√3)

Now find the equation of the line passing through M and C, which is the line containing median AM -

slope = (3√3 - 0)/(3 - 0) = √3

y - 0 = √3(x - 3)

y = √3x - 3√3

And find the equation of the line passing through N and A, which is the line containing median CN -

slope = (0 - 3√3)/(0 - 6) = √3/2

y - 0 = (√3/2)(x - 6)

y = (√3/2)x - 3√3

Now, find the intersection point of these two lines, which is point P -

√3x - 3√3 = (√3/2)x - 3√3

x = 6/3.5

x = 12/7

y = √3(12/7) - 3√3

y = 3√3/7

So P is located at (12/7, 3√3/7).

Now use the distance formula to find the length of CP:

CP² = (12/7 - 3)^2 + (3√3/7 - 3√3)²

CP² = (33/7)^2 + (6√3/7)^2

CP² = 1089/49 + 72/49

CP² = 1161/49

CP = √1161/7

Therefore, the length of CP is (approximately) 3.43.

Given that rectangle ABCD has coordinates A(0,0), B(12,0), C(12,6), and D(0,6), F is the midpoint of AB¯¯¯¯¯, and G is the midpoint of CD¯¯¯¯¯, which of the following proves that FB=GC?

1. By the Distance Formula, the coordinates of F are (6, 0) and the coordinates of G are (6, 6).
Then FB = 12, and GC = 12.
Thus FB = GC.

2. By the Distance Formula, the coordinates of F are (6, 12) and the coordinates of G are (6, 0).
Then FG = 6, and GC = 6.
Thus FG = GC.

3. By the Midpoint Formula, the coordinates of F are (6, 0) and the coordinates of G are (6, 6).
Then FB = 6, and GC = 6.
Thus FB = GC.

4. By the Midpoint Formula, the coordinates of F are (6, 6) and the coordinates of G are (6, 0).
Then FB = 6, and GC = 6.
Thus FB = GC.

The midpoint of the sides [tex]\overline{AB}[/tex] and [tex]\overline{CD}[/tex]  are the points that half way between  [tex]\overline{AB}[/tex] and [tex]\overline{CD}[/tex] respectively.

The option that proves [tex]\overline{FB}[/tex] = [tex]\overline{GC}[/tex] is option 3

3. By the Midpoint Formula, the coordinates of F are (6, 0) and the coordinates of G are (6, 6). Then [tex]\overline{FB}[/tex] = 6, and [tex]\overline{GC}[/tex] = 6. Thus [tex]\overline{FB}[/tex] = [tex]\overline{GC}[/tex]

Reasons:

The given coordinates of the vertices of rectangle ABCD are;

A(0, 0), B(12, 0), C(12, 6), and D(0, 6)

The midpoint of side [tex]\overline{AB}[/tex] = Point F

The midpoint of side [tex]\overline{CD}[/tex] = Point F

The coordinates of point F is given by the midpoint formula, as follows;

[tex]\displaystyle \mathrm{The \ midpoint \ of \ a \ line \ with \ endpoints \ (x_1, \ y_1) \ and \ (x_2, \ y_2) = \mathbf{ \left(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \ \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} \right) }}[/tex]

Which gives;

[tex]\displaystyle \mathrm{The \ coordinate \ of \ F \ the \ midpoint \ of \ \overline{AB} = \mathbf{ \left(\frac{0 + 12}{2}, \ \frac{0 + 0}{2} \right)} =(6,\ 0)}[/tex]

The coordinates of point F = [tex]\underline{(6, \ 0)}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \mathrm{The \ coordinate \ of \ G \ the \ midpoint \ of \ \overline{CD} = \left(\frac{12 + 0}{2}, \ \frac{6 + 6}{2} \right) =(6,\ 6)}[/tex]

The coordinates of point G = [tex]\underline{(6, \ 6)}[/tex]

[tex]\overline{FB}[/tex] is parallel to the x-axis, therefore;

The length of [tex]\overline{FB}[/tex] = 12 - 6 = 6

Similarly, [tex]\overline{GC}[/tex] is parallel to the x-axis, therefore;

The length of [tex]\overline{GC}[/tex] = 12 - 6 = 6

Which gives;

[tex]\overline{FB}[/tex] = [tex]\overline{GC}[/tex] = 6

The correct option is that proves [tex]\overline{FB}[/tex] = [tex]\overline{GC}[/tex] is option 3.

By the Midpoint Formula, the coordinates of F are (6, 0) and the coordinates of G are (6, 6). Then [tex]\overline{FB}[/tex] = 6, and [tex]\overline{GC}[/tex] = 6. Thus [tex]\overline{FB}[/tex] = [tex]\overline{GC}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

d/t=mph

Billy's friend's house is 20 miles away from him.

What is Speed?

The ratio of the distance travelled by an object to the time required to travel that distance.

Given that when Billy moves with his normal speed, it takes 40 min for him to reach his friend's house and if he slows his speed to 20 mph he takes 2 hours to reach the same distance.

We know, Speed = Distance/time

Let x be Billy's normal speed,

Therefore, 2x/3  = 2 (x - 20)

2x/3 = 2x - 40

x = 3x - 60

x = 30

Therefore, Billy's normal speed is 30 mph

Distance covered by him = 2 (30 - 20) = 20 mi

Hence, Billy's friend's house is 20 mi far.

Problem 1

x = number of weeks

y = amount left on gift card (in dollars)

He starts with $100. Then each week he spends $4.99 which means we subtract 4.99x from the 100 mentioned. We form the expression 100 - 4.99x which is the same as -4.99x + 100

The equation y = -4.99x + 100 is in slope intercept form with m = -4.99 as our slope and b = 100 as the y intercept.

Answer:  y = -4.99x + 100

=======================================================

Problem 2

The y intercept is 100 because it's the starting amount. Mark the point (0,100) on the graph.

We need one more point to form a straight line. Let's say we picked something like x = 4 to plug into the equation found earlier

y = -4.99x + 100

y = -4.99*4 + 100

y = -19.96 + 100

y = 80.04

After x = 4 weeks, Mark has y = 80.04 dollars left on the card. We'll plot the point (4, 80.04). Then we connect those points with a straight line.

Check out the diagram below.

The location of (4, 80.04) can be visually marked as (4,80) since it's close enough in my opinion.

<1=120

Step-by-step explanation:

So to find x set up an equation like this:

(5x+15)+(3x-3)=180

since the bottom and top lines are congruent they are 'interior angles on the same side of a transversal' which are always supplementary, so that's where 180 comes from.

calculate the equation and you'll get x=21 :D

next to find 1 just put 21 in place of x: 3(21)-3=60

since it's supplementary to angle 1 you take 180-60=120

The FAA tracks average flight delays. It found that, last year, a particular airline had an average flight delay of 20 minutes. So far this year, the airline has an average that is 45% shorter. What is the current year's average?

Answers

Answer:

11 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

45% of 20 can be found by multiplying 20 and 0.45

which equals 9

so if the average delay was 20 but is now 9 minutes shorter then the current year's average is 11 minutes

The average delay in the current year is 11 minutes.

Given that, last year, a particular airline had an average flight delay of 20 minutes.

This year the airline has an average that is 45% shorter.

We need to find what is the current year's average.

What is average?

In maths, the average value in a set of numbers is the middle value, calculated by dividing the total of all the values by the number of values.

Now, 45% of 20=45/100×20=9

So,20-9=11

Hence, the average delay in the current year is 11 minutes.

Create a shape with an area of 0.8 m2 and a perimeter close to 400 cm

Answers

The dimension of the shape is approximately 1.45 meters by 0.55 meters

Assume the shape is a rectangle, that has the following dimensions.

Length = x

Width = y

So, the area is:

Area = xy

The perimeter is

Perimeter = 2(x + y)

Substitute known values

[tex]\mathbf{xy = 0.8m^2}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{2(x+y) = 400cm}[/tex]

Express cm as m

[tex]\mathbf{2(x+y) = 4m}[/tex]

Divide through by 2

[tex]\mathbf{x+y = 2m}[/tex]

Make x the subject (ignore the units)

[tex]\mathbf{x= 2 - y}[/tex]

Substitute 2-y for x in [tex]\mathbf{xy = 0.8m^2}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{(2-y)y = 0.8}[/tex]

Open brackets

[tex]\mathbf{2y-y^2 = 0.8}[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]\mathbf{y^2 - 2y + 0.8 = 0}[/tex]

Using a calculator, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{y \approx (0.55,1.45)}[/tex]

Recall that:

[tex]\mathbf{x= 2 - y}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{x \approx (2-0.55,2-1.45)}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{x \approx (1.45,0.55)}[/tex]

Hence, the dimension of the shape is approximately 1.45 meters by 0.55 meters
