Answer:

Therefore the length of QP = 3.4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

PQ = 2x + 1

XF = 7x - 4

PF = x

Q is the mid poimt of XF

∴ XQ = QF

QF = PQ - PF  ..........( Q - F - P )

     = 2x + 1 - x

∴ QF      = x + 1

∴ XQ = QF = x + 1

TO Find:

QP = ?

Solution:

By Addition Property we have

XP = XQ + QF+PF ..........(X-Q-F-P)\\\\

XF + PF =XQ + QF+PF ..........(X-Q-F-P)\\

Substituting the given values in above equation we get

(7x - 4) + x = (x +1) + (x +1) + x

8x -4 = 3x +2

8x - 3x + 4 + 2

5x = 6

∴ x = \frac{6}{5}

Now we require

QP = (2x + 1)

∴ QP = 2\times \frac{6}{5} +1\\\\QP = \frac{12+5}{5} \\\\QP =\frac{17}{5} \\\\\therefore QP = 3.4\ unit

Therefore the length of QP = 3.4 units

What is the value of x?<br><br><br><br> Enter your answer in the box.
lubasha [3.4K]

Notice that based on the diagram, all of the sides of the triangle are the same length. (The dashes on the sides of the triangle show that the sides are of congruence.) This means that the triangle is an equilateral triangle. An important thing to note about equilateral triangles is that they all have angles of 60°. All angles in equivalent triangles are 60°.


This means that we can set 7x - 3 equal to 60 to solve for x:

7x - 3 = 60

  • Set up

7x = 63

  • Add 3 to both sides

x = 9

  • Divide both sides by 7

Our answer is x = 9.

In exercises 1 and 2, find m&lt;1 and m&lt;2. Tell which theorem you used in each case.
solniwko [45]

Answer:

m∠2 = 78°

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given picture,

lines 'm' and 'n' are the parallel lines and line 't' is the transverse line.

∠1 and angle with the measure of 78° are corresponding angles.

Therefore, m∠1 = 78°

m∠1 = m∠2 [Vertical angles are equal]

m∠2 = 78°

What is the ratio between the LCM of 180 and 594 and the GCF of 180 and 594
aalyn [17]

180:2=90\\90:2=45\\45:3=15\\15:3=5\\5:5=1\\\\180=\boxed{2}\cdot2\cdot\boxed{3}\cdot\boxed{3}\cdot5\\\\594:2=297\\297:3=99\\99:3=3\\33:3=11\\11:11=1\\\\594=\boxed{2}\cdot\boxed{3}\cdot\boxed{3}\cdot3\cdot11

LCM(180,\ 594)=\boxed{2}\cdot\boxed{3}\cdot\boxed{3}\cdot2\cdot3\cdot5\cdot11=5940\\\\GCF(180,\ 594)=\boxed{2}\cdot\boxed{3}\cdot\boxed{3}=18
