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

The amount of radioactive element remaining, r, in a 100mg sample after d days is represented using the equation r=100(1/2) d/5.
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

   12.94%

Step-by-step explanation:

r = 100(1/2)^(d/5) = 100((1/2)^(1/5))^d ≈ 100(.87055)^d

The daily decrease is 1 - 0.87055 = 0.12944 ≈ 12.94%

3(x – 2) + 4x = 10(x + 1)
balandron [24]

Answer:

x=-16/3 (-5.33)

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x-2)+4x=10(x+1)

3x-6+4x=10x+10

7x-6=10x+10

-6-10=10x-7x

-16=3x

x=-16/3
