The names PNM and MPN are perfectly valid. The order of the letters doesn't matter. In fact, there are 6 ways to name this plane if we just use the 3 letters. If we include "plane Z", then there are 7 total ways to name the plane.
For some reason, your teacher wants P to be the third letter as s/he mentioned MNP and NMP. But again, the order doesn't matter.
8x - 15 = 3x
+15 +15
8x = 3x + 15
-3x
5x = 15
/5 /5
x = 3
There are 6, you'd think there would be 8 but the answer is actually 6. A diagonal is a line segment that connects to vertices, the two vertices chosen do not count when forming the triangle, two vertices that are adjacent to that chosen vertex are NOT included when forming the diagonal. It's confusing, but I hope this helps. If you have any follow up questions I'd love to answer them.
Answer:
The measure of segment AC is 36 units
Step-by-step explanation:
- The mid-point divides the segment into two equal parts in length
- B is the mid point of segment AC
- That means B divides segment AC into two equal parts in length
∴ AB = BC
∵ AC = 5x - 9
∵ AB = 2x
- The two parts AB and BC are equal in length
∴ BC = 2x
∵ AC = AB + BC
- Substitute the values of AB and BC in the expression of AC
∴ AC = 2x + 2x
∴ AC = 4x
∵ AC = 5x - 9
- Equate the two values of AC
∴ 5x - 9 = 4x
- Add 9 to both sides
∴ 5x = 4x + 9
- Subtract 4x from both sides
∴ x = 9
- Substitute the value of x in any expression of AC
∵ AC = 4x
∵ x = 9
∴ AC = 4(9) = 36
* The measure of segment AC is 36 units
Answer: -13, -17, -21
