Hi my favourite people!,,
T bisects PQ in the ratio 3:-2...
PQ is 20cm. Calculate PT and TQ. I have tried this a million times and do not get PT = 60cm and TQ = 40 cm.
Please help me with this thank you so much..
Hi juriemagic!
A quick question about something that I don't think matters either way-
You mean
"T bisects PQ in the ratio 3:2" not
"T bisects PQ in the ratio 3:-2"
right?
Hi tommarvoloriddle,
nope, that's how it is....I cannot upload pictures so I'll try do describe it. The line goes from P to Q. Then from Q extends to T. An arrow pointing from P to Q indicates 20cm. An arrow REVERSE from T to Q indicates K2.
Okay, they give a hint and say remember to set PT as 3K, and TQ(QT) AS 2K..so PQ is then K....Then they give the answers...no explanation...
Hi Juriemagic,
I do not like the wording of this problem one little bit but this is what it means.
You should be able to see now
Hi Melody,
Thank you so much..okay, yes, a very logic approach....thank you..
