Given that NQ ll PR, find NP

Mathematics
1 answer:
kvasek [131]2 years ago
4 0

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>

Choose the graph of the function f(x) = x - 2.
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

The answer in the attached figure

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

f(x)=x-2

This is a linear equation

The slope is equal to m=1

The y-intercept is equal to the point (0,-2) ----> value of the function f(x) when the value of x is equal to zero

The x-intercept is equal to the point (2,0) ----> value of x when the value of the function is equal to zero

using a graphing tool

see the attached figure

Given: m∠1 = 140°, find m∠6.<br> A) 40° <br> B) 50° <br> C) 90° <br> D) 140°
laila [671]

Answer:

The answer is A

Step-by-step explanation:

When two parallel lines are crossed by another line the angle of 1 will be equal to 4, 5, and 8. The angle 2 will be equal to 3, 6, and 7. Since a straight line has a degree of 180, the subtracted degree of 180-140=40 which would mean 2=40 which 2=6 so 6=40.
