What is the length of segment LP?

Mariana [72]3 years ago

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.

If U = the set of odd natural numbers and B = {13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, . . .}, find B′.
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

{1,3,5,7,9,11}

Step-by-step explanation:

B' stands for the complement of B.

B' means set elements in the universe that aren't in B.

Here is the universe:

U={1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19,21,23,25,27,29,31,33,...}

(The dots mean it continues with that pattern forever and ever.)

And the elements we taking out:

B={13,15,17,19,21,23,...}

So we taking out the odd numbers from U that are odd and greater than or equal to 13. (The dots mean it continues with that pattern forever and ever.)

So B' is the set of natural odd numbers that are less than 13:

{1,3,5,7,9,11}

A circle has a diameter of 6 centimeters what is the approximate area of the circle​
KiRa [710]

Answer:

28.26 cm^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius is half of the diameter. 6/2 = 3, so the radius of this circle is 3 cm.

The formula for the area of a circle is: πr^{2}

Plugging 3 into the radius, we have:

3^{2} × π =

9 × π

We can round π to 3.14

9 × 3.14 = 28.26
