What is the length of segment LP?

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.

Fifteen hundred randomly selected South Carolina kindergarten students were observed on the first day of school
shutvik [7]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The question isn't complete. Here is the completed question that I got online.

Fifteen hundred (1500) randomly selected South Carolina kindergarten

students were observed on the first day of school to determine if they knew how to tie a shoe. Using this information, please identify the following: Population:

Sample:

Variable:

Sample Size:

Sample Space:

The variable is: (qualitative/quantitative)

If 40% of the observed students knew how to tie their shoes, how many of the 58,135 kindergarten students in SC can we expect to know how to tie their shoes?

Sample: The sample is 1500.

Variable: This is the number of students who know how to tie their shoes.

Sample Size: 1500

Sample Space: The total number of students in South Carolina kindergarten

The variable is quantitative since they're counted.

If 40% of the observed students knew how to tie their shoes, therefore the number from the 58,135 kindergarten students in SC that can be expected to know how to tie their shoes will be:

= 40% × 58135

= 0.4 × 58315

= 23254
