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

What is the factored term form of 2x^3+4x^2-x
Westkost [7]

Answer: x(2x^2+4x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x³+4x²-x, first find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), which is x. To find the GCF, look at what all the numbers have in common, and then see if it has the greatest value. Next factor out the GCF.

x(\frac{2x^3}{x} + \frac{4x^2}{x}-\frac{x}{x}  ) Simplify each term in the parentheses.

x(2x^2+4x-1)

Hope this helps, now you know the answer and how to do it. HAVE A BLESSED AND WONDERFUL DAY! :-)

The first three terms of a sequence are given. Round to the nearest thousandth (if necessary). 152,149,146
Serhud [2]

Answer:

the 30th term is 239

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the 30th term is as follows:

As we know that

a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d

where

a_1 is the first number is the sequence

n = the term

And, d = common difference

Now based on this, the 30th term is

= 152 + (30 - 1) × 3

= 152 + 29 × 3

= 152 + 87

= 239

Hence, the 30th term is 239
