The midpoint of a line divides the line into equal segments.

The option that proves PQ = LO is (a)

The given parameters are:

\mathbf{L = (0,0)}

\mathbf{M = (3,0)}

\mathbf{N = (3,7)}

\mathbf{O = (0,7)}

P is the midpoint of LM.

So, we have:

\mathbf{P = \frac{LM}{2}}

\mathbf{P = (\frac{(0 +3}{2},\frac{0+0}{2})}

\mathbf{P = (\frac{3}{2},0)}

Q is the midpoint of NO.

So, we have:

\mathbf{Q = \frac{NO}{2}}

\mathbf{Q = (\frac{(3 +0}{2},\frac{7+7}{2})}

\mathbf{Q = (\frac{3}{2},7)}

Distance PQ is calculated as follows:

\mathbf{d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}}

This gives:

\mathbf{PQ = \sqrt{(3/2 - 3/2)^2 + (0 - 7)^2}}

\mathbf{PQ = \sqrt{ 7^2}}

\mathbf{PQ = 7}

Distance LO is calculated as follows:

\mathbf{LO = \sqrt{(0 - 0)^2 + (0 - 7)^2}}

\mathbf{LO = \sqrt{ 7^2}}

\mathbf{LO=7}

So, we have:

\mathbf{PQ = 7}

\mathbf{LO=7}

Thus:

\mathbf{PQ = LO}

Hence, the correct option is (a)

Answer:

43.13 = 5.25h + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve this by making an equation.

$9 for the helmet, and $5.25 per hour.

h will stand for hours, C will stand for Amanda's cost.

C = 5.25h + 9

Now, substitute in what we learned from the problem.

43.13 = 5.25h + 9

This is an equation you can use to solve for the hours.
