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;
Which gives;
2×5 = 8 × NP

Answer:
Perry's claim is correct while Karina is incorrect
Step-by-step explanation:
Question is incomplete (See Attachment)
First, we need to determine the area covered by Karina and Perry
For Karina, there are 9 square boxes each of which has an area of 1 unit sq
So:
For Perry:
There are 18 square boxes, each of which has an area of 1 unit sq.
So:
Comparing both areas, we can conclude that <em>Perry's claim is correct while Karina is incorrect</em>
