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

Solve the system of equations. If the system has no solution, say that it is inconsistent. Graph the lines of the system.
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

The solution to the system of the equations will be:

x=3,\:y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of the equations

x+y=4

x-y=2

solving the system of the equations

\begin{bmatrix}x+y=4\\ x-y=2\end{bmatrix}

x-y=2

-

\underline{x+y=4}

-2y=-2

solving

-2y=-2

Divide both sides by -2

\frac{-2y}{-2}=\frac{-2}{-2}

y=1

\mathrm{For\:}x+y=4\mathrm{\:plug\:in\:}y=1

x+1=4

x=3

Therefore, the solution to the system of the equations will be:

x=3,\:y=1
