A directed line segment on a gridded map shows the path of a hot air balloon from 1(0,0) to B(8,4). Each grid unit represents 1 mile. The balloon traveled at a constant speed of 20 miles per hour Point V divides line segment AB in the ratio 6 to 2.

a) What are the coordinates of point V? Round to the nearest tenth if necessary

b) Mary states that the distance from point A to point Vis 6 miles. What is Mary's mistake? What is the

correct distance? (Check)

Step-by-step explanation:

There is  a point V with ration 6 to 2, therefore we must find the coordinates of point V and the distance from A to V

According to the graph

α≅27°

V=2*8.94/6 (ratio 6:2)

V=2.98mile

coordinates of V = (2,65;1.35)

Distance from A to V

finally

Mary's mistake is to take the 6 to 2 ratio as the distance traveled from the globe only in the x direction

the answer will be

his chances of getting a coin of higher value is 4/19
