Let A be (x1,y1) , B be (x2,y2) , P be (x,y) and the ratio be m:n

Formula is,

x=(x2*m+x1*n)/(m+n)

y=(y2*m+y1*n)/(m+n)

Triangle WXY is an Isosceles right triangle, since WX=XY.

First, we determine the length of WY using Pythagoras Theorem.

$WY=\sqrt{4^2+4^2}\\WY=\sqrt{32}$

Since triangle WXY is Isosceles, $\angle XYW=45^\circ$

$\angle XYZ=\angle XYW+\angle WYZ\\135^\circ=45^\circ+\angle WYZ\\\angle WYZ=135^\circ-45^\circ=90^\circ$

Therefore:

Triangle WYZ is a right triangle with WZ as the hypothenuse.

Applying Pythagoras Theorem

$WZ^2=WY^2+YZ^2\\9^2=(\sqrt{32})^2+a^2\\a^2=81-32\\a^2=49\\a^2=7^2\\$Therefore: a=7$

Which congruence theorem can be used to prove △MLQ ≅ △NPQ? AAS SSS ASA SAS

storchak [24]

Answer: SSS

Proof:
In ΔMLQ and ΔNPQ,
MQ = NQ (given) S
Since Q is the midpoint of LP, by definition, LQ = QP (S)
LM = PN (given) S

∴ ΔMLQ ≡ ΔNPQ (SSS)

Rachael ordered early learning software for her daughter from an online retailer. Each item costs $6.50, and there is a shipping

natta225 [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

Total cost = (7 items * Cost per item) + Shipping fee = 7*6.5 + 8.5 = $54

(b)

Modelling the above equation with symbols:

c = s*6.5 + 8.5 = 6.5s + 8.5

(c)

For a total cost of 80$, c = 80:

80 = 6.5s + 8.5

Calculating, we get:

s = 11 items

Rachel ordered a total of 11 items
