Answer:

The value of x is 4/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that triangles MOP and MNQ are similar.

The corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional.

\frac{MQ}{MP}=\frac{MN}{MO}

\frac{MQ}{MQ+QP}=\frac{MN}{MN+NO}

It is given that MQ=4, QP=x, MN=6, NO=2. Put this value in the above equation.

\frac{4}{4+x}=\frac{6}{6+2}

\frac{4}{4+x}=\frac{6}{8}

4\times 8=6(4+x)

32=24+6x

32-24=6x

8=6x

Divide both sides by 6.

\frac{8}{6}=x

\frac{4}{3}=x

Therefore the value of x is 4/3.

Aight so if you add the angel mn and no you get eight so that must mean the opposite side must also equal eight, in that case 8-4 is 4, so Qp is 4

correct me if im wrong
