OpenStudy (michaelac959):

Plots of land between two roads are laid out according to the boundaries shown. The boundaries between the two roads are parallel. What is the length of Plot 3 along Cheshire Road? a.46 2/3 b.67 1/5 c.66 d.37 1/3

fan + medal

To find the length of Chesire Road you would do a porportion.... \(\LARGE{\frac{ 40 }{ 48 }=\frac{ x }{ 56 }}\) You would cross multiply.... \(\LARGE\color{green}{2,240 = 48x}\) in which we divide 48 from both sides....what would be the answer?

thanks can you help wit more i kinda suck at this math thing

563blackghost (563blackghost):

sure ^^

OpenStudy (michaelac959):

thanks

OpenStudy (michaelac959):

and i need to calculate the geometric mean of 275 and 11 can you explain how to do it

OpenStudy (michaelac959):

im good at math its just this geometry thing is kinda confusing

563blackghost (563blackghost):

This one is easy ^^ you would set this up as a porportion.... \(\LARGE{\frac{275}{x}=\frac{x}{11}}\) next you cross multiply in which it would equal... \(\LARGE\color{purple}{3,025=x^2}\) Now we need to find the square root of 3,025.... \(\LARGE\color{red}{x=\sqrt{3025}}\)....when you get your answer the geometric mean would be the positive and the negative of the number....

OpenStudy (michaelac959):

ok so it would be 55 right

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Correct ^^ sorry my internet is bad right now....so i might get on and off

563blackghost (563blackghost):

So the geometric mean is 55 and -55
