The angles that form similarity are those that are vertically opposite and 2 pairs that are equal because the for a Z formation.
Since <LPM = <ONM then
Cross multiply
12*(5x - 10) = 16*(4x - 9) Remove the brackets on both sides.
60x - 120 = 64x - 144 Subtract 60x from both sides.
- 120 = 64x - 60x - 144
-120 = 4x - 144 Add 144 to both sides.
-120 + 144 = 4x
24 = 4x Divide by 4
24/4 = x
x = 6
Answer:
The segment is 6 units long.
Step-by-step explanation:
The points (–2, 4) and (–2, –2) are vertices of a heptagon. We have to explain how to find the length of the segment formed by these endpoints.
If two points at the ends of a straight line PQ are P() and Q(
), then the length of the segment PQ will be given by the formula
Now, in our case the two points are (-2,4) and (-2,-2) and the length of the segment will be
units. (Answer)
