The image is a bit hard to make out, so I'm going to make some guesses. It looks like it says PN=12, QP=8, and PM=17, and you're asked to find QR.

You know that \Delta NPM and \Delta NQR are similar, which means their corresponding sides are proportional in length. So there's some constant c such that

NP=cNQ
PM=cQR
MN=cRN

To find QR, you need to know PM and the constant c.

Clearly, NQ=NP+PQ=12+8=20. So, the first equation becomes

NP=cNQ\iff12=20c\implies c=\dfrac{12}{20}=\dfrac35

Then in the second equation, you have

17=\dfrac35QR\implies QR=17\times\dfrac53=\dfrac{85}3=28.\overline3

[100 POINTS] Find the values of x, y, and z.
Tom [10]

Answer:

∡x = 20°

∡y = 160°

∠z = 160°

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles on a straight line sum to 180°

⇒ ∠z + 20° = 180°

⇒ ∠z = 180° - 20°

⇒ ∠z = 160°

The central angle measure equals the corresponding arc measure.

⇒ ∡x = 20°

⇒ ∡y = ∠z = 160°
