Answer:

(a)The distance between points N and P is 8 cm.

(b)The distance between points M and N is 16 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Point N lies on the line segment MP.

The distance between M and P is 24 cm.

That is MP= 24 cm

The distance between points N and M is twice longer than between points N and P.

That is

MN = 2 NP.

Since the point N lies on the line segment MP.

So, MN+NP= MP.

∴2 NP + NP= 24       [∵ MP= 24 cm]

⇒3 NP= 24

\Rightarrow NP= \frac{24}{3}

⇒NP= 8

The distance between points N and P is 8 cm.

(b)

Since

MN= 2 NP

⇒MN= 2×8

⇒MN= 16 cm.

The distance between points M and N is 16 cm.

Answer:

300,350,400,450

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula for any n term is:

tn=a1+(n-1)d

t1= 300+(1-1)d=300

t2= 300+(2-1)50= 350

t3= 300+(3-1)50= 400

t4= 300+(4-1)50 = 450

and so on...
