The length of MP is 22 units.

<h3>What is a Line Segment?</h3>

A line segment is defined as a measured path between two places. Line segments can make up any polygon's sides because they have a set length.

The figure is given below shows a line segment AP, where the length of line segment AP refers to the distance between its endpoints, A and P.

Given that Points A, M and P are collinear with M in between A and P.

AP=29, AM =5x-3 and MP=8x+6,

A______________M______________P

⇒ AP = AM + MP

Substitute the values of AP = 29, AM =5x-3 and MP=8x+6,

⇒ 29 = 5x - 3 + 8x+6,

Rearranging the terms in the above equation,

⇒ 5x + 8x = 29 + 3 - 6

⇒ 13x = 26,

⇒ x = 26/13,

⇒ x = 2

So MP = 8x+6

Substitute the value of x = 2 in the above equation,

⇒ MP = 8(2) + 6

⇒ MP = 22

Hence, the length of MP is 22 units.

A rectangular school banner has a length of 60 inches and a width of 48 inches. A sign is made that is similar to the school ban
natulia [17]

Answer:

The ratio of the length of the banner to the length of the sign = 54/17

So....since they are similiar figures, the widths will have the same ratio

And the ratio of the area of the banner to the area of the sign will be the square of this ratio  

Step-by-step explanation:

[54/17]^2  = 2916/289

- 3/4 (x + 2) = 6<br> the / is a fraction can someone help
Oliga [24]
-3/4(x+2)=6
-3/4 is turned into a decimal, -0.75
-0.75(x+2)=6 distribute -0.75 to x and 2 (multiply)
-0.75x-1.5=6 add -1.5 under 6

-0.75x=7.5 divide -0.75 on both sides
-0.75x/-0.75 = 7.5/0.75
x=10
