PLEASE HELP, 10TH GRADE GEOMETRY (REAL ANSWERS PLSSSS)


Four points partition the directed line segment from A to B.


• Point P partitions the directed line segment from A to B into a 3:4 ratio.

• Point Q partitions the directed line segment from A to B into a 4:3 ratio.

• Point R partitions the directed line segment from A to B into a 2:5 ratio.

• Point S partitions the directed line segment from A to B into a 5:2 ratio.






Which point will lie closest to B?

Verified Answer :

Answer:

The correct option is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the line AB divided into 7 equal parts.

It is given that point P partitions the directed line segment from A to B in 3:4. It means 3 parts are before P and 4 partes are after P.

It is given that point Q partitions the directed line segment from A to B in 4:3. It means 4 parts are before Q and 3 partes are after Q.

It is given that point R partitions the directed line segment from A to B in2:5. It means 2 parts are before R and 5 partes are after R.

It is given that point S partitions the directed line segment from A to B in 5:2. It means 5 parts are before S and 2 partes are after S.

From the below figure we can say that point S is closest to point B.

It is also written as

\(A<\frac{2}{7}<\frac{3}{7}<\frac{4}{7}<\frac{5}{7}

\(A

Therefore option 4 is correct.
