Answer:
i would help but im not smart enough sorry
Step-by-step explanation:
The <span>perimeter of a face of the new cube is 8 times larger than the previous cube.
</span>Let us say, the side of cube before increase is "a"
Then perimeter of the cube = 12a ,
because the cube has 12 sides.
And perimeter of a face of cube = 4a
Now, the side length is increased by factor of 3 i.e. new side is 3a
Thus, perimeter of new face of the cube = 4*3a = 12a
Therefore, the new perimeter is larger by = 12a - 4a = 8a
In the image, as denoted by similar sides OP and MN, we can conclude that the 2 triangles are similar triangles. To look for the value of x (which we can substitute later to find the length of segment LP), we relate the relations of segments LO and LP to segments LM and LN. This relation is shown below:
LO/LP = LM/LN
22 / x+12 = 30 / x+12 + 5
22 / <span>x+12 = 30 / x+17
</span>
Cross-multiplying:
30x + 360 = 22x + 374
Isolating x to one side of the equation by subtracting 22x and 360 from both sides:
30x + 360 - 360 - 22x = 22x + 374 - 360 - 22x
8x = 14
x = 1.75
Since we now have the value of x, we substitute this to the equation of LP:
LP = x + 12
LP = 1.75 + 12
LP = 13.75
Therefore the value of LP is 13.75 in.
