Fernando and maria are at opposite sides of a park. they plan to meet later at a fountain that is located somewhere between them. maria will arrive at the fountain first, before fernando even leaves his starting location. the ratio of maria's starting location to the fountain to fernando's starting place is 5: 3. what is the location of the fountain? round to the nearest tenth, if necessary.

Lines can be divided in ratios.

The coordinates of the fountain is (-1,-0.5)

From the graph, we have the following coordinate points

The ratio is given as:

The coordinates of the fountain is calculated using:

So, we have:

Hence, the coordinates of the fountain is (-1,-0.5)

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
