Given:
The figure.
To find:
The segment bisector of MN and value of MN.
Solution:
From the given figure it is clear that ray RP,i.e., is the segment bisector of MN because it divides segment MN in two equal parts.
Now,
Since, is the segment bisector of MN, therefore,
Therefore, the length of MN is .
Answer: A. x= 5"
Step-by-step explanation:
ORIGINAL/NEW = 11"/7" = 8.5"/x
x = 7" x 8.5"/11" = 59.5"/11 = 5.409 ≅ 5.41"
If we wanted to keep most of the engraving, we would adjust the larger dimension, but we have been asked to adjust one dimension to 5", since it is said that C. x = 5.41 is incorrect
Then we will adjust the minor dimension to 5"
ORIGINAL/NEW = 11"/y = 8.5"/5"
y= 11" x 5"/8.5" = 6.47"
Then the new dimensions of the paper are 6.47" x 5" to fit an 7" x 5" frame
Answer: A. x= 5"
