Example Question #12 : Lines
The cable on Ryan's new cellphone charger is twice as long as his old cellphone charger cable. If Ryan's new cellphone charger has a feet long cable, how long was his old charger cable?
To find the length of Ryan's old cellphone cable, divide the length of his new cellphone charger in half.
The solution is:
Example Question #12 : How To Find Symmetry
Line segment is twice as long as line segment . If line segment is inches, how many inches is ?
The length of line segment is half the length of line segment .
Therefore, divide by .
Example Question #13 : How To Find Symmetry
Line segment is twice as long as line segment . If line segment is centimeters, how many centimeters is line segment ?
To find the length of line segment , divide the length of line segment .
Therefore, the length of line segment is:
Example Question #14 : How To Find Symmetry
Find the midpoint between coordinate points and .
To find the midpoint between these two coordinate points, use the formula,
Since our and our the midpoint formula becomes,
.
Example Question #1521 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Quantitative Reasoning
In a football contest, Jeff threw the football twice as far as Robby. If Jeff threw the ball yards, how many yards did Robby throw the ball?
yards
Since Jeff threw the football twice as far as Robby, divide by .
Example Question #16 : How To Find Symmetry
Line segment goes exactly halfway across a sheet of paper. If the sheet of paper has a width of inches, how long is line segment ?
Since the length of line segment is half of , convert to a mixed number.
Then divide by .
Then convert to a mixed number.
Example Question #1522 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Quantitative Reasoning
The Johnson family had an extension put onto their driveway that doubled the width of the driveway. If their driveway was originally feet wide, how wide is their new driveway?
Since the original driveway was half the width of the new driveway, multiply by .
Example Question #1523 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Quantitative Reasoning
Line segment is twice as long as line segment and half as long as line segment . If line segment is meters, how long is line segment ?
Since line segment is half the length of line segment we need to divide by .
Example Question #541 : Plane Geometry
How many lines of symmetry does an octagon have?
A line of symmetry divides a shape into two equal and identical halves. Any regular shape has as many lines of symmetry as it does sides. Since octagons have eight sides, the correct answer is 8.
Example Question #1525 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Quantitative Reasoning
Do the black lines in the figure represent lines of symmetry?
Yes
No
Yes
When you are trying to decide if a line represents a line of symmetry you can think about folding the figure across that line. Once you make the fold, do all of the parts line up on top?
If yes, then the line represents a line of symmetry.
If no, then the line does not represent a line of symmetry.
These lines represent lines of symmetry because if you fold on the black lines, then one side would lay on top of the other and the parts would match up.
