What is the length of segment LP?

Mathematics

Mariana [72]2 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.

Veronica tried to solve an equation step by step.
Svetach [21]
No steps are wrong. To solve this equation, you need to isolate the y. So, you would add 4.6 to both sides to cancel out the 4.6 on the right side and isolate the y.

Find the distance between each pair of points.If necessary round to the nearest tenth
Dovator [93]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

22) J(2,-1); K(2,5)

Distance = √(x₂-x₁)² + (y₂-y₁)²

                = √( 2- 2)² + (5 - [-1] )²

                = √0 + (5  + 1 )²

                =√ ( 6 )²   = 6

25) A(0,3) ; B (0,12)

distance =√(0-0)² + (12 - 3 )²

              =√( 9)²  = 9

28) Q(12,-12) ; T(5,12)

distance = √(5 - 12)² + (12 - [-12] )²

              = √( -7)² + (12 + 12] )²

              = √ 49 + (24)²

              = √ 49 + 576

               = √625

                 =25

I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I need help understanding this problem please...
denpristay [2]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost (C) depends on the number of miles traveled (x).

So C is the dependent variable.

Or C(x) if they want you to be more specific.

x is your independent variable.

Miles driven do not depend on anything.
