Given that NQ ll PR, find NP

Mathematics

kvasek [131]1 year ago

The parallel lines cuts the sides in equal proportion to give NP = 0.8

<h3>How can the length of NP be found?</h3>

The given diagram consists of a line parallel to one of the sides of the triangle.

According to the triangle proportionality theorem, the parallel line, NQ, proportionally divides the sides MR and MP, such that:

NQ || PR

By triangle proportionality theorem;

\mathbf{    \frac{ MN }{ NP} } =  \frac{ MQ }{ QR }

Which gives;

\mathbf{    \frac{ 5 }{ NP} } =  \frac{ 8}{ 2 }

2×5 = 8 × NP

  • <u>NP = 8 ÷ 10 = 0.8</u>

frosja888 [35]

The formula to calculate the temperature (T) after m minutes is -

T = 106 - 6m

We have Reabilwe who is conducting an experiment in which the temperature is measured carefully. The temperature was 106°C at the end of the first minute, and then it falls by 6°C every minute after that.

We have to tp determine a formula to calculate the temperature (T) after m minutes.

<h3 /><h3>Starting from x, if the bacteria count rises by 5 every second, then determine the formula to calculate the bacteria count after 30 seconds.</h3>

Initial count = x

Count increasing per second = 5

Assume that the bacteria count after t seconds is y. Then -

y = x + 5t

for t = 30 ↔ y = 150 + x

According to question, we have -

Initial Temperature = 106 degrees Celsius

Temperature increase per minute = 6 degrees Celsius

Assume that the Temperature fall after m minutes is T. Then -

T = 106 - 6m

Hence, formula to calculate the temperature (T) after m minutes is -

T = 106 - 6m
