Answer:
A - 8.1
Step-by-step explanation:
This is an example of similar shapes.
The length of MO is 18, and PO is 5.
So length of MP is 13. (18 - 5)
We need to separate this large triangle into 2 triangles:
- Triangle NMP
- Triangle NPO
In problems including similar shapes, our unknown needs to be on top of the fraction in an equation.
NP (h) /
=
=
Cross multiply
h² = 65
h = √65
h = 8.06
h = 8.1 (rounded)
