Answer:

Therefore, the correct explanation is;

C. ∠L ≅ ∠L  By Reflexive Prop. ≅.

Since \overline {OP} ║ \overline {MN}, ∠LOP ≅ ∠LMN by the Corr. ∠s Post. Therefore, ΔLOP ~ ΔLMN by AA ~. OP = 4 and MN = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

\overline {LP} = 5

\overline {NP} = 10

\overline {OP} = x - 3

\overline {MN} = x + 1

A two column proof is presented as follows;

Statement    {}      Reason

∠L ≅ ∠L     {}        By Reflexive property of congruency

\overline {OP} ║ \overline {MN}     {}     Given

∠LOP ≅ ∠LMN {}  By the Corresponding angles Postulate

Therefore

ΔLOP ~ ΔLMN {}  By AA similarity Postulate

Where we have that ΔLOP and ΔLMN, we get;

\overline {OP}/\overline {MN}  = \overline {LP}/\overline {NP} = 5/10 = 1/2

∴ (x - 3)/(x + 1) = 1/2

2·(x - 3) = 1·(x + 1)

2·x - 6 = x + 1

2·x - x = 1 + 6 = 7

x = 7

\overline {OP} = (x - 3) = 7 - 3 = 4

\overline {OP} = 4

\overline {MN} = x + 1 = 7 + 1 = 8

\overline {MN} =  8

Therefore, the correct option is ∠L ≅ ∠L  By Reflexive Prop. ≅.

Since \overline {OP} ║ \overline {MN}, ∠LOP ≅ ∠LMN by the Corr. ∠s Post. Therefore, ΔLOP ~ ΔLMN by AA ~. OP = 4 and MN = 8.

Answer:

∠L≅∠L by the Reflex Prop. of ≅.

Since OP⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯∥MN⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯,∠LOP≅∠LMN by the

Corr. ∠s Post. Therefore, △LOP∼△LMN

by AA∼. OP=2 and MN=6.

I know the answer I got is wrong help.
irinina [24]

Answer:

∠2 = 18°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠WXZ = ∠1 + ∠2 ← substitute ∠1 = 3∠2

∠WXZ = 3∠2 + ∠2, that is

72 = 4∠2 ( divide both sides by 4 )

18 = ∠2, that is

∠2 = 18°

Solvę for x. Assume that lines which appear tangent are tangent.
Tom [10]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

Use secant-tangent product theorem.

1. Set up the equation

(x-3)(x-3+5) = (x-1)²

2. Solve

(x-3)(x+2) = (x²-2x+1)

(x²-x-6) = (x²-2x+1)

3. Solve for x

Subtract x² from both sides

-x-6 = -2x+1

Add 2x and 6 to both sides

x = 7
