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>

Resolver la siguiente ecuación por eliminación o sustitución: a-8b= -9 a-2b= -7
Crazy boy [7]

Answer: Solution: a=\dfrac{-19}{3} and b=\dfrac{1}{3} .

Step-by-step explanation:

The given pair of equations:

a-8b= -9\ ...(i)\\\\ a-2b= -7\ ...(ii)

Eliminate equation (i) from (ii) , we get

-2b-(-8b)=-7-(-9)\\\\\Rightarrow\ -2b+8b=-7+9\\\\\Rightarrow\ 6b=2\\\\\Rightarrow\ b=\dfrac{1}{3}

Put value of b in (ii) , we get

a-2\times\dfrac{1}{3}=-7\\\\\Rightarrow\ a=-7+\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow\ a=\dfrac{-21+2}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow\ a=\dfrac{-19}{3}

Solution: a=\dfrac{-19}{3} and b=\dfrac{1}{3} .

What are the coordinates of point B?
zaharov [31]

Point a is at (-2,4) => (x1,y1)

Midpoint is (2.5, 3.5) => (a,b)

Point B is (x2, y2)

To find midpoint we use formula

(a=\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} , b= \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})

a= 2.5, b= 3.5, x1= -2  and y1= 4

Plug in all the values and findout x2, y2

(2.5=\frac{-2+x_2}{2} , 3.5= \frac{4+y_2}{2})

multiply 2 on both sides to remove fraction

(5 = -2+x2 , 7 = 4+ y2)

5 = -2+x2, so x2= 7

7 = 4+ y2, so y2= 3

The point B is ( 7, 3)
