Answer:

PQ = 34.4

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we know that the angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees. Therefore, angle M = 48 and angle R = 74

Next, because there is a corresponding angle in each triangle, they are similar. This means that the ratios between corresponding sides are the same. For example, the side opposite angle O (MN) over the side opposite angle R (PQ) is equal to the side opposite angle N (OM) over the side opposite angle Q (RP)

This can be written as MN/PQ = OM/RP. Note that both the numerators are on the same triangle, and MN and PQ correspond, as well as OM and RP.

We are given MN, NO, and QR. Because NO is opposite a 48 degree angle (angle M) as well as QR (angle P), we can say that NO/QR = another ratio of a pair of corresponding sides. Because we want to find PQ, and both PQ and MN are opposite 74 degree angles, we can say that

NO/QR = MN/PQ

Thus,

11/27 = 14/PQ

multiply both sides by PQ to remove a denominator

PQ * 11/27 = 14

multiply both sides by 27 to remove the other denominator

PQ * 11 = 14 * 27

divide both sides by 11 to isolate the PQ

PQ = 14 * 27 /11

PQ = 34.4

What is 34 + 56 x 34 and have a great day ?
Kruka [31]

Answer:

1938

Step-by-step explanation:

For this, you will need to use order of operations. You would need to multiply 56 and 34 to get 1904 first, because multiplication comes before addition.

Remember to use PEMDAS.

Prove that the sum of the squares of any two odd numbers is always even
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

proof below

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that a number is even if it is expressed so n = 2k. It is odd if it is in the form 2k + 1 (k is just an integer)

Let's say we have to odd numbers, 2a + 1, and 2b + 1. We are after the sum of their squares, so we have (2a + 1)^2 + (2b + 1)^2. Now let's expand this;

(2a + 1)^2 + (2b + 1)^2 = 4a^2 + 4a + 4b + 4b^2 + 4b + 2

= 2(2a^2 + 2a + 2b^2 + 2b + 1)

Now the sum in the parenthesis, 2a^2 + 2a + 2b^2 + 2b + 1, is just another integer, which we can pose as k. Remember that 2 times any random integer, either odd or even, is always even. Therefore the sum of the squares of any two odd numbers is always even.
