Answer:

The area of LQM is 48cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Area of PNQ = 8

Area of LPQ = 16

See attachment for triangles

The area of PNQ is calculated as:

Area = \frac{1}{2} * PQ * PN

Substitute 8 for Area

8 = \frac{1}{2} * PQ * PN

PQ * PN = 16

The area of LPQ is calculated as:

Area = \frac{1}{2} * PQ * LP

Substitute 16 for Area

16= \frac{1}{2} * PQ * LP

From the attachment:

PN + LP =LN

Make LP the subject

LP = LN -PN

So:

16= \frac{1}{2} * PQ * (LN -PN)

We have:

16= \frac{1}{2} * PQ * (LN -PN) and PQ * PN = 16

Equate both expressions:

\frac{1}{2} * PQ *(LN - PN) = PQ * PN

Divide both sides by PQ

\frac{1}{2} (LN - PN) = PN

Multiply both sides by 2

LN - PN = 2PN

LN= 3PN

Since PNQ is similar to LNM, the following equivalent ratios exist:

\frac{LM}{PQ} = \frac{LN}{PN}

Substitute LN= 3PN

\frac{LM}{PQ} = \frac{3PN}{PN}

\frac{LM}{PQ} = 3

LM = 3PQ

Area of LQM is:

Area = \frac{1}{2} * LM * LP

This gives:

Area = \frac{1}{2} * 3PQ * LP

Area = 3 *\frac{1}{2} *PQ * LP

Recall that:

16= \frac{1}{2} * PQ * LP

So:

Area = 3 *16

Area = 48cm^2

A football is thrown by a quarterback to a receiver. The points in the figure show the height of the​ football, in​ feet, above
nevsk [136]

Answer:

Coordinates of the point B will be (14, 3.5).

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph attached,

Distance between the Quarterback and Receiver = x-coordinate of the point B = 14 yards

Similarly, height of the football from the ground at point B = y-coordinate of the point B = 9 + \frac{12-9}{2}

                   = 9 + 1.5

                   = 10.5 feet

Since, 1 feet = \frac{1}{3} yards

10.5 feet = \frac{10.5}{3}

               = 3.5 yards

Therefore, coordinates of the point B will be (14, 3.5).
