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.

Write an equation of the line that passes through the point (3,-2) with slope -2.
Virty [35]

Answer:

y + 4 = -2(x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the point-slope formula y - k = m(x - h).  Substitute -2 for k and 3 for h, as well as -2 for m:

y + 4 = -2(x - 3).

Sonja [21]

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

2 x 8 is just another way of saying what would 8 + 8 be

for example, 5x5 would just 25 but 5+5+5+5+5 would also be 25

Hope this helps, sorry im not a good teacher:)

Sean is helping his dad build a tiled walkway in their backyard. The walkway will be 60 feet long and 2 feet wide. The local har
Natalija [7]
Length of the walkway that needs to be tiled = 60 feet
Width of the walkway that needs to be tiled = 2 feet.
Then
Area of the walkway that needs to be tiled = Length * Breadth
                                                                    = 60 * 2 square feet
                                                                    = 120 square feet
Now
Length of the tiles sold by the local store = 2 feet
Width of the tiles sold by the local store = 2 feet
Area covered by the tiles sold by the local store = 2 * 2 feet
                                                                              = 4 square feet
Number of tiles in a box = 6
Then
Total area covered by a box of tile = (6 * 2) square feet
                                                        = 12 square feet
 Then
The number of boxes required by Sean = (120/12)
                                                                = 10
So 10 boxes of tiles are needed by Sean and his father.
