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
.
4 sqrt(400) / 4 sqrt(5)
sqrt(400) =20
4 *20
--------
4 sqrt(5)
the 4's on the top and bottom cancel
20
--------
sqrt(5)
I was taught never to leave a sqrt in the denominator
so you need to multiply by sqrt (5) in the numerator and the denominator
20* sqrt(5)
--------
sqrt(5)* sqrt(5)
20* sqrt(5)
--------
5
= 4 sqrt(5)
First, subtract 14 from both sides. then, divide both sides by two to get X=4
I believe the number is -1
