Geomatry question
@mathmath333 i have that same pic on my computer
**Geometry What can I help you with?
|dw:1431020833251:dw|
\(\large \color{black}{\begin{align}\dfrac{BP}{PC}=\dfrac{2}{3}\hspace{.33em}\\~\\ \dfrac{AQ}{QC}=\dfrac{1}{3}\hspace{.33em}\\~\\ \text{Find}\quad \dfrac{AS}{SP}=? \end{align}}\)
is the answer 5/6 ?
yes \(\dfrac{5}{6}\)
what construction u used
|dw:1431023638206:dw|
ok cool , u did it like previous problem
Yes \[\frac{AS}{SP}=\frac{b+3b}{3a}=\frac{4}{3}(\frac{b}{a})\] that ratio \(\frac{b}{a}\) equals \(\frac{5}{8}\) by manipulating the areas
for second relation u used which triangles
not so sure if there is a more simpler way, but i have used this http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=solve+%282%2F3%283a%2B4b%29-2a%2Bb%29%2F%285a%2B3b%29%3D1%2F3
