Answer:
x=4, MN= 37, LM= 37, y=7.
Step-by-step explanation:
If MP is a perpendicular bisector to LN, then NP and LP are equivalent.
(Solve for y)
2y+2= 16
(Move the +2 to the right side of the equation)
2y= 14
(Divide both sides by 2 to isolate the variable)
y=7
To find x and the measure of MN and LM, solve for x in the following equation:
7x+9 = 11x-7
(Move 7x to the right side of the equation)
9 = 4x-7
(Move -7 to the right side of the equation.)
16= 4x
(Divide both sides by 4 to isolate the variable.)
4= x
Plug x back into both equations to get the measure of MN and ML
MN=7(4)+9
MN= 28+9
MN= 37
LM= 11(4)-7
LM= 44-7
LM= 37
I hope this helps!
You would take 3 into 7.5 to get that scale factor.
<em>π</em> ≈ 3.14 > 2, so the second piece is the relevant one:
