Step-by-step explanation:


<em>Prologarithmize both parts of the equation:</em>

<u><em> Divide both parts of the equation by 2:</em></u>


OM=18, so OQ=QM=18/2=9.
Given QU=8
from figure OQU is a right angled triangle , so OU^2=OQ^2 + QU^2
OU^2 = 9*9 + 8*8 = 81+72=153;
OU=sqrt(153) = 12.37 =13(approx);
From given statements of congruent NT and OU will also be congruent or identical. So, NT=OU=13
5 times the product of x and y = 5xy
