Answer: 10.5 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that if two polygons are similar to each other than the corresponding sides are proportional.

Given : In the image shape ABCD is similar to shape MNOP .

Then , AB corresponds to MN .

BC corresponds to NO.

CD corresponds to OP. (1)

AD corresponds to MP. (2)

In the given figure we have ,

AD = 14 in. , CD= 16 in. and OP =12 in.

To find : MP

Since shape ABCD is similar to shape MNOP then the corresponding sides should be proportional.

i.e. $\dfrac{MP}{AD}=\dfrac{OP}{CD}$ [By using (1) and (2)]

Substitute the values.

i.e. $\dfrac{MP}{14}=\dfrac{12}{16}$

i.e. $MP=\dfrac{12}{16}\times14=10.5\ in.$

Hence, the length of MP= 10.5 in.

Thus the correct answer is 10.5 inches.

Solve the following quadratic equation by completing the square: x² + 12x = 15

Lerok [7]

Answer:

x = -1.14 or -13.14

Explanations:

The given equation is:

$x^2+12x\text{ = 15}$

Find the half of 12, and add the square to both sides of the equation.

That is add 6² to both sides

$x^2+12x\text{ + 6}^{2}\text{ = 15 + 6}^{2}$ $\begin{gathered} (x+6)^2\text{ = 15 + 3}6 \\ (x+6)^2\text{ = 51} \\ \end{gathered}$

Find the square root of both sides:

$\begin{gathered} \sqrt[]{(x+6)^2_{}}=\pm\sqrt[]{51} \\ \text{x + 6 = }\pm\sqrt[]{51} \\ x\text{ = -6 }\pm\sqrt[]{51} \\ \text{x = }-6\pm7.14 \\ x\text{ = -6+7.14 = }1.14 \\ x\text{ = -6 - 7.14} \\ \text{x = -13.14} \end{gathered}$

x = -1.14 or -13.14

Choose the correct reasoning of when a projectile reaches its highest point. A. A projectile reaches its highest point when its

alexira [117]

Answer: A projectile reaches its highest point when its vertical velocity component is zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

In projectile motion, objects moves in parabolic path.

Projectile motion is a type of motion in which an object moves in a bilaterally symmetrical, parabolic path. Projection motion happens when the force is applied at the start of the trajectory (where the object follows) which follows an interference which is gravity. Gravity takes over and afterwards the object accelerates downwards. The acceleration is constant so the vertical velocity (Vy) varies linearly. The maximum height of the projectile which is the highest height is reached when the vertical velocity (Vy) is equal to zero.

After the projectile reaches its maximum height which is its highest point, it begins to drop downwards.
