Answer:

B.LP=8 because 12-4=8 according to the subtraction property of equality

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that if LR=12 and PR=4

We have to find LP

The points L, P and R are collinear points,because they lie on the same line.

When the points are collinear then

LP+PR=LR

We have LR=12 and PR=4

Substituting the values then we get

LP+4=12

LP=12-4

Using subtraction property of equality

Therefore, by simplification we get

LP=8

Answer:B. LP=8 because LP+PR=LR according to the segment addition postulates , and 12+4=16 using substitution.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

LP = 8 because LR + PR = LP according to the Segment Addition Postulate, and 8 + 4 = 12 using substitution

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

From this problem, we know that:

LR = 12

PR = 4

So here we have a Line segment. Recall that a line segment has two endpoints, places where they end or stop and they are named after their endpoints, so the line segment here is LR whose measure is 12. Then, according to Segment Addition Postulate it is true that:

LP + PR = LR

By substituting LR = 12 and PR = 4, we have:

LP + 4 = 12

Subtracting 4 from both sides:

LP + 4 - 4 = 12 - 4

LP + 0 = 8

Finally:

LP = 8

What is 12 to the 2nd power
Alex Ar [27]

Answer: 144

Step-by-step explanation: The problem shown here can be read as "10 to the 2nd," oe "12 to the 2nd power."

The 12 is called the base and the 2 that is raised up is called the exponent.

The exponent of 2 tells us that we multiply our base 2 times.

So we have 12 · 12 which is 144.

The numbers that we multiply together are called factors so in this problem, we have 2 factors of 12.
