<h3>Answer: 42.9</h3>

There are two triangles: triangle MAB and triangle MNP

The slanted sides on the right side of the triangles are MB and MP. They correspond to one another. So they form a ratio MB/MP. I have the smaller piece up top. So we'll have the smaller piece of MAB's other known side which is MA = 35.2 (subtract 67.22 and 32) and we'll divide MA over MN = 67.2 making the ratio MA/MN

Solve the proportion for x

MB/MP = MA/MN

x/81.9 = 35.2/67.2

67.2*x = 81.9*35.2 <<--- cross multiply

67.2*x = 2882.88

x = 2882.88/67.2 <<--- divide both sides by 67.2

x = 42.9

Answer:

42.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

When lines are parallel and they are cut by a transversal, their corresponding angles are equal.

  • <MAB = <MNP        Corresponding Angles are equal
  • <MBA = <MPN         Corresponding Angles are equal
  • <M = <M                   Reflexive Property: an angle equals itself
  • These Triangles are similar by AAA

Therefore Corresponding Sides of Similar Triangles are in a ratio

Equation

MA / MN = MB/MP

Givens

  • MA = 67.2 - 32 = 35.2
  • MN = 67.2        
  • MB = x
  • MP - 81.9

Solution

35.2/67.2 = x / 81.9        Cross Multiply

35.2 * 81.9 = 67.2 * x      Combine the left

2883 = 67.2 * x               Divide by 67.2

2883/67.2 = x

x = 42.9                           Answer

HELP ASAP PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damm [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of drawing a right triangle, with the hypotenuse connected to points A and B.  The hypotenuse, or the distance between A and B is 2√10.  2√10 is the same thing as √40.  Thus, because of Pythagorean theorem, a^2 + b^2 = 40. One combination would be a=2 and b = 6 and another would be a = 6 and b = 2.  Thus, the two places point B could be are (3,7) and (7,3).

Hope it helps <3
