Given that triangles MON and POQ are similar triangles, the length of PO is 30 units.

<h3>What are Similar Triangles?</h3>

The triangles that are similar to each other will have their corresponding sides proportional to each other.

Given:

MP = 25

PQ = 18

MN = 33

Triangles MON and POQ are similar triangles.

Let PO = x

Therefore:

MN/PQ = MO/PO

Substitute

33/18 = (25 + x)/x

Cross multiply

33x = 18(25 + x)

33x = 450 + 18x

33x - 18x = 450

15x = 450

x = 30

Therefore, given that triangles MON and POQ are similar triangles, the length of PO is 30 units.

What is the area of this partial circle with a radius of 14 inch
AveGali [126]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this circle is partial we will divide the area of the whole circle by 2

the area of a circle is expressed by \pi r^2 so insert 14 for the radius.

14^2\pi

196\pi

divide the area by 2

98\pi=307.876

Hope that helps :)

A geologist in South America discovers a
diamong [38]

Answer:

This is a radioactive decay / half-life problem.

Initial amount of C 14 = 100% Present Amount = 57%

k = .0001  (that value should be negative)

Nt = No * e^ (k*t)

You need to solve that equation for "time" (equation attached)

time = natural log (Ending amount / Starting Amount) / k

time = natural log (57% / 100%) / -.0001

time = ln (.57) / -.0001

time = -.56211891815 / -.0001

time = 5,621.2 years    (age of the bird skeleton)

These problems are quite complicated but I think I know this pretty well.

A line passes through the points (–1, –5) and (4, 5). The point (a, 1) is also on the line.
IgorC [24]

Answer:

a = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's find the equation of the line using the 2 points given.

Let's call -1 as x_1 and -5 as y_1

also, 4 as x_2 and 5 as y_2

The equation of line is :

y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)

<em>Let's plug the points and get the equation of the line:</em>

y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)\\y+5=\frac{5+5}{4+1}(x+1)\\y+5=2(x+1)\\y+5=2x+2\\y=2x-3

Now, to find a, we substitute a in x and 1 in y of the equation of the line we just got:

y=2x-3\\1=2(a)-3\\1=2a-3\\2a=4\\a=\frac{4}{2}=2
