The length of segment \overline{MN} found using properties of an equilateral triangle and segment addition postulate is 10

<h3>What is segment addition postulate?</h3>

Segment addition postulate states that a line AC contains a point B if we have AB + BC = AC

The sides of ∆PQR are equal to 5, therefore, ∆PQR is an equilateral triangle

According to the mid segment theorem, we have;

RQ || MN

RQ = 0.5 × MN

RP || ON

RP = 0.5 × ON

PQ || MO

PQ = 0.5 × MO

Therefore, from alternate interior angles theorem, we have;

‹PRQ = ‹RPM

‹PQR = ‹QPN

‹QRP = ‹RQO

However, ‹PRQ = ‹PQR = ‹QPR = 60°, which gives;

∆MRP and ∆QPN are equilateral triangles of side length 5

From which we have;

MR = RP = MP = 5

PN = QN = PQ = 5

MN = MP + PN; Segment addition postulate

Therefore;

MN = 5 + 5 = 10

Part A: Sydney made $18.50 selling lemonade, by the cup, at her yard sale. She sold each cup for $0.50 and received a $3 tip fro
prisoha [69]

Answer:

Part A: x0.50 + 3 = 18.50

Part B: x0.75 + 3 - x0.10 = 21

Part C: The equations from Part A and Part B differ because of the cost of plastic cup.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of cup of lemonade sold. Therefore, we have:

Part A:

This situation can be represented by the following equation:

x0.50 + 3 = 18.50

Part B:

This situation can be represented by the following equation:

x0.75 + 3 - x0.10 = 21

Part C:

The equations from Part A and Part B differ because of the cost of plastic cup.

For equation from Part A, revenue is the same as profit as Sydney does incur any cost to buy plastic cup before selling her lemonade.

For equation from Part B, revenue is different from profit because Daria has to incur the cost of plastic cup which $0.10 per cup of lemonade before selling her lemonade.

What is the value of x to the nearest tenth? The figure is not drawn to scale
Nataly [62]

Answer:

x=10.5

Step-by-step explanation:

if the two triangles were ratios it would be like

19.3:7.2 to x:3.9

so 75.27 = 7.2x

whcih is 10.45 which is approximately 10.5

2. Barak has 4 pet lizards. Each lizard eats 5 crickets a day. If a cricket costs 12 cents,
ikadub [295]

Answer:

The expression Barak could use to find the amount he will spend to feed his pet lizards for one day = Number of pets × number of crickets per pet × cost of each crickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Pet lizards = 4

Each lizard eats 5 crickets

4 pet lizards will eat = 4 × 5 crickets

= 20 crickets

A cricket = 12 cents

That is, $0.12

Cost of 20 crickets = 20 × $0.12

= $2

The expression Barak could use to find the amount he will spend to feed his pet lizards for one day

= Number of pets × number of crickets per pet × cost of each crickets

= (4) (5) (0.12)

= $2.4
