The points H, I, J and K all lie on the same line segment, in that order, such that the

ratio of HI:IJ: JK is equal to 3: 3:4. If HK - 40, find IJ.

Respuesta :

Answer:

IJ = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

sum the parts of the ratios, 3 + 3 + 4 = 10 parts

Divide HK by 10 to find the value of one part of the ratio.

40 ÷ 10 = 4 ← value of 1 part of ratio , then

IJ = 3 parts = 3 × 4 = 12
