in the figure below trianglePQM and triangleQRP are right triangles. the measure of lineQM is 6 and the measure of lineQP is 8.

Kipish [7]

Answer:

Option 4 is correct. The length of PR is 6.4 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given figure it is noticed that the triangle PQR and triangle MQR.

Let the length of PR be x.

Pythagoras formula

$hypotenuse^2=base^2+perpendicular^2$

Use pythagoras formula for triangle PQM.

$PM^2=QM^2+PQ^2$

$PM^2=(6)^2+(8)^2$

$PM^2=36+64$

$PM^2=100$

$PM=10$

The value of PM is 10. The length of PR is x, so the length of MR is (10-x).

Use pythagoras formula for triangle PQR.

$PQ^2=QR^2+PR^2$

$(8)^2=QR^2+x^2$

$64-x^2=QR^2$ .....(1)

Use pythagoras formula for triangle MQR.

$MQ^2=QR^2+MR^2$

$(6)^2=QR^2+(10-x)^2$

$36=QR^2+x^2-20x+100$

$36-x^2+20x-100=QR^2$ .... (2)

From equation (1) and (2) we get

$36-x^2+20x-100=64-x^2$

$20x-64=64$

$20x=128$

$x=6.4$

Therefore length of PR is 6.4 units and option 4 is correct.

Solve and check:8a-4=25+6(a-8)

OlgaM077 [116]

8a - 4 = 25 + 6 (a - 8)

(distribute the 6)

8a - 4 = 25 + 6a - 48

(combine like terms 25 - 48)

8a - 4 = 6a - 23

( subtract 6a from both sides)

2a - 4 = -23

(add 4 to both sides)

2a = -19

(divide both sides by 2)

a = - 9.5

////CHECK/////

8 (-9.5) - 4 = 25 + 6 ( -9.5 -8)

(plug each side into a calculator)

-80 = -80

FINAL ANSWER:

a = -9.5
