Q is the midpoint of line segment PR. PQ=2z, and PR = 8z - 12. Please find z, PQ, and PR.

Q is the midpoint of QR.


PQ =
2z and PR = PR = 8z-12.


To find PQ and
PR.


Solution:


 PQ =  QR as Q
is the mid point of PR by data.


2z = (1/2)(8z-12), as PQ=
2z and  QR = (1/2)PR = (1/2)(8z-12) by data.


2z = 4z-6. 
Add 6 and subtract 2z


6 = 4z
-2z


6 = 2z.


6/2 =
z.


z = 3.


Therefore PQ = QR =
2z = 2*3 = 6


PR = 2*6 = 12.

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
