You want to place a towel bar that is 24 1⁄4 centimeters long in the center of a door that is 70 1⁄3 centimeters wide. how far should you place the bar from each edge of the door? (write the answer as a mixed number.)

The bar should be placed at the distance of from each edge of the door.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of the towel bar  = 24 1⁄4 centi-meters

Length of the door = 70 1⁄3 centi-meters

To Find:

How far should you place the bar from each edge of the door =?

Solution:

Step 1: Lets find the difference in length between the door and towel bar

=>

=>

=>

=>

=>

Step 2: Lets divide the value by 2 to find the distance from each edge of the door

=>

=>

=>

=>

were is the equation

x coordinate can be written by using the formula, x= x1 + 2/5(x2 - x1)

step-by-step explanation:

formula

x = x1 + p/w(x2 - x1)

let the line segment ab with a(x1,y1) and b(x2,y2)

a point(x,y) divide ab in the ratio, 2: 3 the x coordinate can be written as

x = x1 + p/w(x2 - x1)

here p=2 and w = 2+3

therefore,

x coordinate can be written by using the formula, x= x1 + 2/5(x2 - x1)

similarly y coordinate y = y1 + 2/5(y2 - y1)
