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.

Help please I'm so confused ​
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

169.12

Step-by-step explanation:

I hope this is correct. First, you want to divide the semi-circle and the rectangle. To find the area of the rectangle, you do 16 x 9 to get 144. To find the area of the semi-circle, you do 3.14x16/2 to get 25.12. Then you want to add 144 and 25.12 to get 169.12. I hope this helps

3x-2x+8=12; x=4 <br>Determine if the value of x is a solution to the equation<br>​
VARVARA [1.3K]

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 2x + 8 = 12; x=4

Now, Evaluate the value of x

3(4) - 2(4) + 8 = 12

12 - 8 + 8 = 12

12 + 0 = 12

12 = 12
