Just by looking at it, 2 seems to be the correct answer. I mean if you think about it, when the triangle is split in two smaller triangles, side LN is longer than LP so that means x needs to be a small number. I could either be 2 or 1. Well if you look at the big picture, side LM is longer than LN so it’s gonna need to be bigger. If you say x=1 then you are saying 2(1) +4 = 6 (therefore LM is 6) but if you say x=2 then you are saying 2(2) +4 = 8 which makes more sense
If x=2 then you can use the Pythagorean’s theorem
a2 + b2 = c2
4^2 + b^2 = 5^2
16 + b^2 = 25
25-16= 9
b^2= 9
b= 3
Now that we know what NP is we can do Pythagorean’s theorem to figure out what side LP is (we already know it but you can do it again to check lol)
So the answer is 2
I can’t really see it get a clear picture
Answer:
11 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Length of new pencil = 19 cm
Length of pencil after using a month = 8 cm
Question asked:
The pencil is centimeters shorter now than when it was new = ?
Solution:
Length of new pencil = 19 cm
Length of pencil after using a month = 8 cm
The pencil is centimeters shorter now than when it was new = 19 cm - 8 cm
= 11 cm
Length of pencil has been used during a month = 11 cm
Answer: 12.30 dollars will be spent
Step-by-step explanation: If you go on a trip of 150 miles and each mile is 25 miles per gallon, I divided 150 miles from 25 = 6. Then each gallon cost $2.05 dollars, if we want to know how much will they spend on gas you have to multiply how much per mile and how much it cost. So 2.05 times 6 = 12.30.
