The location of the treasure on the treasure map is (b) (7.6,8.8)
The ratio is given as:
[tex]m : n = 5 : 9[/tex]
The coordinates of the rock and the tree are:
[tex]Rock =(3,2)[/tex]
[tex]Tree = (16,21)[/tex]
The x and y coordinates of the location of the treasure are:
[tex](x,y) = (\frac{mx_2 + nx_1}{m + n},\frac{my_2 + ny_1}{m + n})[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex](x,y) = (\frac{5 \times 16 + 9 \times 3}{5 + 9},\frac{5 \times 21 + 9 \times 2}{5 + 9})[/tex]
[tex](x,y) = (\frac{107}{14},\frac{123}{14})[/tex]
[tex](x,y) = (7.6,8.8)[/tex]
Hence, the location of the treasure is (b) (7.6,8.8)
