Answer: C. Definition of an Altitude
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: In triangle MNO shown below, segment NP is an altitude from the right angle.
Let ∠MNP=x
Then ∠PNO=90°-x
Therefore in triangle MNO,
∠MPN=∠NPO =90° [by definition of Altitude]
[Definition of altitude : A line which passes through a vertex of a triangle, and joins the opposite side forming right angles. ]
Now using angle sum property in ΔMNP
∠MNP+∠MPN+∠PMN=180°
⇒x+90°+∠PMN=180°
⇒∠PMN=180°-90°-x
⇒∠PMN=90°-x
Now, in ΔMNO and ΔPNO
∠PMN=∠PNO=90°-x
and ∠MPN=∠NPO =90° [by definition of altitude]
Therefore by AA similarity postulate, we have
ΔMNO ≈ ΔPNO
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
add 2 each time
Answer:
= 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Note there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms of the sequence, that is
r = 18 ÷ 2 = 162 ÷ 18 = 1458 ÷ 162 = 13122 ÷ 1458 = 9
A recursive formula allows a term in the sequence to be found by multiplying the previous term by the common ratio, that is
= 9 with a₁ = 2
2x-14=-3x+6
You need to combine like terms and get all the x's on one side and the numbers on the other
2x+3x-14=6
5x=6+14
5x=20
now divide to get x alone
x=4
Hope that helps
