Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

There are three possible cases:

1. Point N lies between M and P, then MN + NP = MP. Consider needed difference:

$\dfrac{MN}{NP}-\dfrac{MN}{MP}=\dfrac{MN}{NP}-\dfrac{MN}{MN+NP}=\dfrac{MN(MN+NP)-MN\cdot NP}{NP(MN+NP)}=\\ \\=\dfrac{MN^2+MN\cdot NP-MN\cdot NP}{NP(MN+NP)}=\dfrac{MN^2}{NP(MN+NP)}$

2. Point N lies to the right from point P, then MP + PN = MN. Consider needed difference:

$\dfrac{MN}{NP}-\dfrac{MN}{MP}=\dfrac{MP+PN}{NP}-\dfrac{MP+PN}{MP}=\dfrac{MP}{NP}+1-1-\dfrac{NP}{MP}=\dfrac{MP^2-NP^2}{NP\cdot MP}$

3. Point N lies to the left from point M, then NM + MP = NP. Consider needed difference:

$\dfrac{MN}{NP}-\dfrac{MN}{MP}=\dfrac{MN}{MN+MP}-\dfrac{MN}{MP}=\dfrac{MN\cdot MP-MN(MN+MP)}{MP(MN+MP)}=\\ \\=\dfrac{MN\cdot MP-MN^2-MN\cdot MP}{MP(MN+MP)}=\dfrac{-MN^2}{MP(MN+MP)}$

To some Marines one cruising at 25 kn in the other 20 kn left the naval base at the same moment. Three hours later they were 100

Rus_ich [418]

I believe you would have to multiply both 25 and 20 and what ever number you get dived by 100 if the numbers to high multiply aging or subtract the number (if it's wrong I'm really not good at my math I'm sorry)

For this case we have that by definition, the volume of a rectangular prism is given by:

$V = A_ {b} * h$
