D: NP=1.25, because the ratio of 8/2 is equal to 5/X.
The value of x from the given equation is 5/3
<h3>How to determine the value</h3>
Since the three points are collinear to U, they are on a straight line which equals 0
Then we have,
UM + UD = MD
5x+30 + 10x+20 = 3x+80
Collect like terms
5x + 10x + 50 = 3x + 80
15x - 3x = 80 - 50
12x = 30
x = 30/12 = 15/6 = 5/3
Thus, the value of x from the given equation is 5/3

Answer: 18 units
Step-by-step explanation:since its is a horizontal line x2 - x1
7 -1 = 6
line 2:
since this is a vertical line y2 - y1
7 - 3 = 4
line 3:
since this is a horizontal line x2 - x1
7 - 4 = 3
line 4:
for this we need to use the distance formula which allows us to find the distance making a third point to form a right angle triangle
point 1: (1,3)
point 2: (4,7)
point 3 (new point) : (4,3)
now we can apply the pythogorean thereum (C squared = B squared + A squared) with the following lines.
line 1: (1,3) - (4,7)
line 2: (1,3) - (4,3)
line 3: (4,3) - (4,7)
line 1 squared = line2 squared + line 3 squared
calculate length of line 2 and 3
line 1 squared = (4 - 1) squared + (7 - 3) squared
line 1 squared = 3 squared + 4 squared
line 1 squared = 9 + 16
line 1 squared = 25
root both sides
line 1 = 5
add all the liens together
6 + 4 + 3 + 5 = 18
