Answer:

Option D. y= 36

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given figure there are two triangles ΔMPO and ΔMNL

If two sides OP and LN are parallel and lines MN, ML are transverse respectively.

Then ∠MPO =∠MNL [ corresponding angles ]

and ∠MOP = ∠MLN [ corresponding angles ]

and ∠M is common to both the triangles.

Now by the property of AAA, ΔMPO & ΔMNL are similar

Now we know in similar triangles corresponding sides are in same ratio.

\frac{MP}{MN}=\frac{MO}{ML}

\frac{y}{y+18}=\frac{28}{28+14}=\frac{28}{42}=\frac{2}{3}

By cross multiplication

3y = 2(y + 18)

3y = 2y + 36

y = 36

Option D. y = 36 is the answer.

Answer:  The correct option is (D) 36.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the value of 'y' that would make OP parallel to LN.

MO = 28 units, OL= 14 units, Pl = 18 units and MP = y = ?

From the figure, we have

if OP ║ LN, then we must have

∠MOP = ∠MLN

and

∠MPO = ∠MNL.

Since ∠M is common to both the triangles MOP and MLN, so by AAA postulate, we get

ΔMOP similar to ΔMLN.

We know that the corresponding sides of two similar triangles are proportional, so

\dfrac{MO}{ML}=\dfrac{MP}{MN}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{MO}{MO+OL}=\dfrac{MP}{MP+PN}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{28}{28+14}=\dfrac{y}{y+18}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{28}{42}=\dfrac{y}{y+18}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{y}{y+18}\\\\\\\Rightarrow 2y+36=3y\\\\\Rightarrow y=36.

Thus, the required value of 'y' is 36.

(D) is the correct option.

What is the area of the composite shape?
Lelu [443]

Answer:

84 sq. inches

Step-by-step explanation:

When you section off each, you can find the area of each shape and add together to make composite.

Triangle on left is 6 sq. inches

Rectangle on right (5x10) is 50 sq. inches

Rectangle on bottom (7x4) is 28 sq. inches

Semenov [28]

Answer:

Option B - =8.4672\times 10^{13}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Astronomers measure large distances in light-years. One light-year is the distance that light can travel in one year, or approximately 5,880,000,000,000 miles.Suppose a star is 14.4 light years from earth.

To find : In scientific notation, how many miles away a star is from earth?

Solution :

One light-year is the distance that light can travel in one year is = 5,880,000,000,000 miles.

In scientific notation, 5.88\times 10^{12} miles.

In 14.4 lights year the distance is  =14.4\times5.88\times 10^{12}

In 14.4 lights year the distance is  =84.672\times 10^{12}

                                                  or  =8.4672\times 10^{13}

Therefore, Option B is correct.
