If PM = 2x - 5, PN = 6x, and MN = 5x + 4, what is the value of x?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Vadim26 [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The required value of x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

For better understanding of the solution, see the attached figure :

The given three points are collinear to each other and the point P lies somewhere between the end points of the line MN

So, to find the value of x we can use the relation : Sum of Mid segments PM and PN is equal to complete length of the line segment MN

⇒ PN + PM = MN

⇒ 6·x + 2·x - 5 = 5·x + 4

⇒ 8·x - 5·x = 4 + 5

⇒ 3·x = 9

⇒ x = 3

Hence, The required value of x = 3

In a 45-45-90 triangle, what is the length of the hypotenuse when the length of one of the legs is 11 in.?
lana [24]

Answer:

= 15.556 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a 45-45-90 triangle, we can tell that;

  • This is a right triangle  
  • This is an isosceles triangle

One of the theorems of geometry, the Isosceles Right Triangle Theorem, says that the hypotenuse is √2 times the length of a leg.

Therefore;

hypotenuse = leg × √2

If we take hypotenuse as x

Since the leg is 11;

Then; x = 11√2

x = 11/√2

x = 15.556 in

No,The room is not a square shaped.This is because.Perimeter of the square shape would be length of any sides×4 as all sides will be the same in a square.Therefore, if the room ia a square, the 4 sides of room floor will be equal too.It is not a square shaped room beacause it sides are not equal for floor.We can determine by finding the sides;
diagonal is 18.75 so by using pythagoras theorem
diagonal^2 =l^2 + b^2
b^2=18.75^2 + 17^2
b =25.31 inches which is not the same as the length 17 inches.Therefore,the room is not a square
