Find the length of line pq if pq is parallel to bc and pq is a midsegment of triangle abc

Your answer is roughly 4.92 units, or √24.25 .

To find the length of line PQ, we need the coordinates of P and Q, and then we can use Pythagoras's theorem to find the distance between them. Because we know that PQ is a midsegment of triangle ABC, and also that it's parallel to BC, the coordinates of P and Q must be the midpoints of the lines AB and AC in the triangle.

To find a midpoint of a line, you add up the x coordinates and then half the result, and then add up the y coordinates and half the result. This means the midpoint of line AB is ( (8+1)/2, (6+1)/2 )= (4.5, 3.5). We can then label this point Q.

The midpoint of line AC is therefore ( (8+10)/2, (6-3)/2) = (9, 1.5). We can label this point Q.

Now to find the length of PQ, we can use Pythagoras's theorem. First we need to find the difference between the x coordinates and y coordinates of P and Q to be the legs of the right-angled triangle. These will be (9 - 4.5) = 4.5 for the base, and (3.5 - 1.5) = 2 for the height.

Thus, the length of PQ is √(2² + 4.5²) = √(4 + 20.25) = √24.25 . This is roughly equal to 4.92.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)

(4,5

look up a corrdinate plane and do what the thingy says and boom

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
