In the image, as denoted by similar sides OP and MN, we can conclude that the 2 triangles are similar triangles. To look for the value of x (which we can substitute later to find the length of segment LP), we relate the relations of segments LO and LP to segments LM and LN. This relation is shown below:

LO/LP = LM/LN

22 / x+12 = 30 / x+12 + 5
22 / <span>x+12 = 30 / x+17
</span>
Cross-multiplying:
30x + 360 = 22x + 374

Isolating x to one side of the equation by subtracting 22x and 360 from both sides:

30x + 360 - 360 - 22x = 22x + 374 - 360 - 22x
8x = 14
x = 1.75

Since we now have the value of x, we substitute this to the equation of LP:
LP = x + 12
LP = 1.75 + 12
LP = 13.75

Therefore the value of LP is 13.75 in.

An experimenter is randomly sampling 4 objects in order from among 43 objects. What is the total number of samples in the sample
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

10.75

Step-by-step explanation:

First you see how many times 4 can go into 4 in the tens place which is 1 .You multiply 4 times 1and you get 4 .Then you minus 4 from 4 and get

Then you bring down the 3 and see how many times 4 can go into 3 which is 0 .So you put a decimal point and bring down a 0.

See how many times 4 can go into 30,which will be 7 times.After , you multiply 7 times 4 and you get 28.Subtract 29 from 30 and you get 20.You bring down the 0 .

See how many times 4 can go into 20 which is 5.Mutiply 5 times 4 and get 20 then subtract 20 from 20.

Get a final quotient of 10.75.
