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

5. To get to the library from his house, Robert biked 6 kilometers due east and then
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

24 kilometers.

Step-by-step explanation:

The shortest path between two points is a straight segment that connects the two points.

Refer to the diagram attached. The 6-km segment and the 8-km segment are normal to each other. Together with the segment that joins the library and the house, the three segments now form a right triangle.

  • The two shorter segments are the two legs, and
  • The longer segment that joins the library and the house is the hypotenuse.

The length of the hypotenuse can be found with the Pythagorean Theorem.

\begin{aligned}\text{Hypotenuse} &= \sqrt{(\text{Leg 1})^{2} + (\text{Leg 2})^{2}}\\&= \sqrt{6^{2} + 8^{2}}\\&= \sqrt{36 + 64} \\&= \sqrt{100}\\&= \rm 10\;km\end{aligned}.

The length of the round-trip will equal to the sum of the length of the three segments: \rm 6\;km + 8\;km + 10\;km = 24\;km.

What is the solution to the inequality
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

p > 5 and p <-8

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, you first need to isolate p.

First add 6 on both sides of the equation:

-6 + |2p+3| >7\\\\(+6) -6 + |2p+3| >7 +6\\\\2p + 3 > 13

Then subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.

2p+3-3>13-3\\\\2p > 10\\

The divide both sides by 2.

\dfrac{2p}{2}>\dfrac{10}{2}\\\\p>5

Another solution is possible because of the absolute value.

If |2p+3|>13

Then |2p+3|

<em>Thus we can solve the second solution:</em>

|2p+3|

2p+3

Isolate P again by subtracting both sides by 3

2p+3-3

2p

Then divide both sides by 2:

\dfrac{2p}{2}

p

Hey I need a step by step of this!!! Or can you just explain to me how to figure it out step by step!! either is fine
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

I believe the answer may be x= 24.5 I'm not certain though

Step-by-step explanation:

The angles inside the triangle must all add up to 180 so we can subtract 80 from 180 to get 98. Now I'm assuming the two undefined angles are equal because of the two angle bisectors that create the second triangle. If I'm correct in assuming that them we can divided 98 by 2 to get 49 which would be the measurement of both bottom angles. Since there's a line bisecting both of them we would then cut that number in half to get 24.5. I hope this helped, I'm not fully certain of this answer though.

At a school dance, the ratio of girls to boys is 8:3. If there are 528 students at the dance, how many are boys and how many are
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

144 boys and 384 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

8 girls to every 3 boys. You can make an equation to solve this: 8x + 3x = 528. 528 = 11x. Then divide 528 by 11 to get 48. x=48. 8(48) = 384 girls. 3(48) = 144 boys.
