Consider M, N, and P. collinear points on MP.

Mathematics

Kobotan [32]2 years ago

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)}

What is the angles mSRW?
Scilla [17]

Answer:

126°

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x +18)° = (3x)°

2x + 18 = 3x

18 = 3x - 2x

18 = x

therefore, (3x)° = (3*18)°= (54)°

m\angle SRW + (3x)\degree = 180\degree \\m\angle SRW + 54\degree  = 180\degree \\m\angle SRW = 180\degree  - 54\degree  \\\huge\red{\boxed{m\angle SRW = 126\degree}}
