Find the measure of NP on the triangle

Mathematics
2 answers:
Anettt [7]3 years ago

Answer:

NP = 1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar, we can use ratios to solve

5                      8

------------ = ----------------

5+NP            8+2

5                      8

------------ = ----------------

5+NP            10

Using cross products

5*10 = 8(5+NP)

Distribute

50 = 40+8NP

Subtract 40 from each side

50-40 = 8NP

10 = 8NP

Divide by 8

10/8 = NP

1.25 = MP

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let NP be x

MR/MQ = MP/MN

(8+2)/8 = (5+x)/5

10/8 × 5 = 5 + x

5 + x = 6.25

x = 1.25

Factor completely 2x3 + x2 - 18x - 9
melisa1 [442]
Factor the following:
2 x^3 + x^2 - 18 x - 9

Factor terms by grouping. 2 x^3 + x^2 - 18 x - 9 = (2 x^3 + x^2) + (-18 x - 9) = x^2 (2 x + 1) - 9 (2 x + 1):
x^2 (2 x + 1) - 9 (2 x + 1)

Factor 2 x + 1 from x^2 (2 x + 1) - 9 (2 x + 1):
(2 x + 1) (x^2 - 9)

x^2 - 9 = x^2 - 3^2:
(2 x + 1) (x^2 - 3^2)

Factor the difference of two squares. x^2 - 3^2 = (x - 3) (x + 3):

Answer:  (x - 3) (x + 3) (2 x + 1) thus the Answer is C.

I need help on this one I have the image attached
mart [117]

Answer:

x = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

The ADF is 90 degrees so the CAF will also be 90

So you do

( x + 15 ) + 90 + 35 = 180

x + 15 + 90 + 35 - 90 = 180 -90

x + 15 + 35 = 90

x + 15 + 35 - 35 = 90 - 35

x + 15 = 55

x + 15 - 15 = 55 - 15

x = 40
