Answer:
PR = 5 because LP + PR = LR according to the Segment Addition Postulate, and 7 + 5 = 12 using substitution
Step-by-step explanation:
The naming of the segments suggests that point P is between L and R, so that ...
LP + PR = LR
This corresponds to the last choice.
_____
<em>Comments on the alternate interpretation</em>
On the other hand, if point L is between P and R, then the segments are PL and LR. The Segment Addition Postulate would tell you that ...
PL + LR = PR
The Reflexive Property of Congruence would tell you that PL = LP. The Substitution Property would tell you LP can be substituted into this equation, making it ...
LP + LR = PR
and by the commutative property, ...
LR + LP = PR.
Multiple properties of addition and congruence are involved with this interpretation, which more or less matches the third choice. That is, the simple explanation of answer choice 3, by itself, is insufficient to explain why the length of PR should be considered to be 19, not 5.
Answer:
Option C.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given information: In triangle ABC, ST║AC, SB=10 ft, BT=9 ft and CT=2.7 ft.
Triangle proportionality theorem: If a line segment parallel to a side of a triangle then the line segments divides the remaining sides proportionally.
Using triangle proportionality theorem we get
On cross multiplication we get
Divide both sides by 9.
The length of SA is 3ft.
Therefore, the correct option is C.
Step-by-step explanation:
X=y-5
Now,
4x-y=4
4(y-5)-y=4
4y-20-y=4
3y=24
Y=8
Substituting the value of y
8-5=x
X=3
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
if you have 5 plates and you subtract 2 then you have 3 plates left
5-2=3
A right triangle.it has one right angle and it is not a square.
