Answer:

116

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of angles in a quadrilateral is 360°. The figure here is symmetrical about the line NQ, so ∠P = ∠M = x°. Using these facts, we can write ...

∠M +∠N +∠P +∠Q = 360°

x° +28° +x° +100° = 360° . . . . fill in the angle values

2x = 232 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by °, subtract 128

x = 116 . . . . divide by 2

For what values of a is the distance between P(a,3) and Q(5,2a) greater than √26

Novay_Z [31]

$P(a,3)\ \ \ Q(5,2a)\\\\ PQ=\sqrt{(x_Q-x_P)^2+(y_Q-y_P)^2}\\\\ PQ>\sqrt{26}\\\\\sqrt{(5-a)^2+(2a-3)^2}>\sqrt{26}\\\\\sqrt{25-10a+a^2+4a^2-12a+9}>\sqrt{26}\\\\\sqrt{5a^2-22a+34}>\sqrt{26}\ \ |^{2}\\\\
5a^2-22a+34=26\ \ \ |Subtract\ 26\\\\
5a^2-22a+8=0\ \ \ |Factoring\\\\(a-4)(5a-2)=0\\\\
a=4\ \ or\ \ 5a=2\\
a=4\ \ or\ \ a=\frac{2}{5}$
