Answer: NP = 9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

In a parallelogram, the opposite sides are equal.

If the length of the longer side is MN, it means that the length of the two opposite longer sides is 2MN.

If the length of the shorter side is NP, it means that the length of the two opposite shorter sides is 2NP.

The perimeter is 2MN + 2NP

If the perimeter of MNPQ is 68 inches, it means that

2MN + 2NP = 68- - - - - - - - - - - -1

In parallelogram MNPQ, side MN is seven inches longer than twice the length of side NP. It means that

MN = 2NP + 7- - - - - - - - - - -2

Substituting equation 2 into equation 1, it becomes

2(2NP + 7) + 2NP = 68

4NP + 14 + 2NP = 68

4NP + 2NP = 68 - 14

6NP = 54

NP = 54/6

NP = 9 inches

Write the equation of the vertical line that passes through the point (−2, 10). remember to enter your answer as an equation.
posledela
Remark
All vertical lines are of the form x = a. The y value only places where the point is on the grid. 

For this particular question the x value of the point is where the vertical line is. At x = -2 draw a vertical line. The graph shows what this looks like.

The graph (x = - 2) is in red.

The point (-2,10) is green.

En un entrenamiento, Mariana metió 12 de los 15 tiros al arco que pateo. Carla tuvo una efectividad del 75%. Cual de las dos chi
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Mariana has better performance.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that in a training session, Mariana made 12 of the 15 shots on goal that she kicked and Carla had an effectiveness of 75%.

And we have to find which girl's performance is better.

Since it is stated that Carla had an effectiveness of 75%.

Similarly, we will find the effectiveness of Mariana;

Total shots available to Mariana = 15 shots

Number of shots on goal = 12

So, her effectiveness =  \frac{12}{15} \times 100

                                    =  4 \times 20 = 80%

This shows that Mariana has a better performance as compared to Carla as 80% > 75%.
