Mathematics
1 answer:

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>
