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.

29.25 divided by 9 is 3.25. You have to take the total amount of money he made $29.25 and divide it by the amount he gets every hour $9. So 29.25 divided by 9 is 3.25 or 3 hours and 15 minutes.

An arithmetic sequence is given below.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

arithmetic sequence means every new term is the previous term plus a certain constant.

as we can see, this constant is +4 in our case.

15 + 4 = 19

19 + 4 = 23

23 + 4 = 27

...

so, we have

a1 = 15

a2 = a1 + 4 = 15 + 4 = 19

a3 = a2 + 4 = a1 + 4 + 4 = a1 + 2×4 = 15 + 8 = 23

...

an = an-1 + 4 = a1 + (n-1)×4 = 15 + (n-1)×4

Give coordinates for three possible pairs of points for the other two verticies...

Answers

Answer:

A) (-1,3) and (4,3)

B) (-1,-7) and (4,-7)

C) (1.5, .5) and (1.5, -4.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

For 1 and 2, because the y-values of the points are the same, the length of the square can be found by subtracting the x-coordinates.

4-(-1)=4+1=5

The length of the side of the square is 5.

1. For the first set of points, the square is above the two given points so just add 5 to the y-values

-2+5=3

This gives you the points:

(-1,3) and (4,3)

2. For the second set of points, the square is below the two given points so subtract 5 from the y-values.

-2-5=-7

This give you the points:

(-1,-7) and (4,-7)

3. The third answer is when the two given points are on opposite corners

of the square.

Here the diagonal is equal to 5 since they are on opposite corners of the square.

The diagonal of a square can be found with the pythagorean theorem

Since we have the diagonal we can find the side lengths we need.

[tex]2s^2=25[/tex]

s=[tex]\sqrt{\frac{25}{2} }[/tex]

s=3.5355

We want the new vertices to be in the middle of the other vertices x-coordinates

[tex]\frac{4-(-1)}{2} =\frac{5}{2} =2.5[/tex]

The new vertices will be 2.5 units away from the other vertices

-1+2.5=1.5

The new vertices will be at x=1.5

Now we need the pythagorean theorem again to find the y-values

[tex](2.5)^2+h^2=(3.5355)^2[/tex]

[tex]6.25+h^2=\frac{25}{2}[/tex]

[tex]h=\sqrt{\frac{25}{2} -6.25}[/tex]

h=2.5

The new vertices will be:

(1.5, -2+2.5)=(1., .5)

(1.5, -2-2.5)=(1.5, -4.5)

kate has $2.95 in quarters and nickels and the total number of ocins is 23 how many quarters and how many nickels does kat have

Answers

Answer: 9 quarters and 14 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

9*25=225

14*5=70

225+70=295

The total number of nickels is 14 and the total number of quarters is 9 and this can be determined by forming the linear equation.

Given :

kate has $2.95 in quarters and nickels and the total number of coins is 23.

The following steps can be used in order to determine the total number of quarters and nickels Kat have:

Step 1 - Let the total number of quarters be 'x' and the total number of nickels be 'y'.

Step 2 - Remember one quarter is equal to $0.25 and one nickel is $0.05.

Step 3 - The total amount of money Kat has:

0.25x + 0.05y = 2.95  --- (1)

Step 4 - Total number of coins is given by:

x + y = 23

x = 23 - y    --- (2)

Step 5 - Substitute the value of 'x' in equation (1).

0.25(23 - y) + 0.05y = 2.95

5.75 - 0.25y + 0.05y = 2.95

2.8 = 0.20y

y = 14

Step 6 - Now, substitute the value of 'y' in equation (2).

x = 23 - 14

x = 9

So, the total number of nickels is 14 and the total number of quarters is 9.

Answer:

Speed of slower bus = 50mph and

speed of faster bus = 60 mph

Then speed of second bus = x+10 mph.

Let A and B have a distance d.

Then given that faster bus reached in 3.5 hours.

i.e.  ... i

THe other bus was away from B by 1/6 times d.

Distance travelled by slower bus = 1-1/6 = 5d/6  

Time taken = 3.5 hours
