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

Separate the number 41 and the two parts so that the first number is eight more than twice the second number what are the two nu
vesna_86 [32]

The two numbers are 30 and 11

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that we have to separate the number 41 into two parts

Let the second number be "x"

<em><u>Given that first number is eight more than twice the second number</u></em>

first number = eight more than twice the second number

first number = 8 + twice the "x"

first number = 8 + 2x

So we can say first number added with second number ends up in 41

first number + second number = 41

8 + 2x + x = 41

8 + 3x = 41

3x = 41 - 8

3x = 33

x = 11

first number = 8 + 2x = 8 + 2(11) = 8 + 22 = 30

Thus the two numbers are 30 and 11

Does the chart below represent a proportional relationship? What is the rate of change?
Lilit [14]

This chart represents a proportional relationship. The rate of change will be 4.

<h3>What is the constant of proportionality?</h3>

Firstly, there is a proportional relationship.

Two values x  and y are said to be in a proportional relationship if x=ky, where x and y are variables and k is a constant.

The constant k is called the constant of proportionality.

Given;

x y

1 4

2 8

3 12

4 16

Here, x = ky

put the first value

k = 1/4

This chart represents a proportional relationship.

So the rate of change will be

Rate = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}\\\\Rate = \dfrac{8 - 4}{2 - 1}\\\\Rate = 4
