Question

Point O is on line segment \overline{NP} NP . Given OP=8OP=8 and NO=2,NO=2, determine the length \overline{NP}. NP

Answer 1

Answer: The length of $\overline{NP}$ is 10 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

Point O is on line segment $\overline{NP}$ .

Then, $\overline{NP}=\overline{NO}+\overline{OP}$   (i)

Since we have given that OP=8 units and NO=2 units .

Now we will substitute these values in (i), we will get

$\overline{NP}=8\ units+2\ units\\\\\Rightarrow\ \overline{NP}=10\ units$

Hence, the length of $\overline{NP}$ is 10 units.
