1. Assume O P || NM.

1. Assuming OP || NM, considering the triangle proportionality theorem possible measurements for the segments are: ON = 3 units, LO = 1 unit, PM = 6 units, LP = 2 units

2. The possible values are decided by assuming  \frac{ON}{LO} = \frac{PM}{LP} = 3 using the triangle proportionality theorem.

3. Another method is applying the AA Similarity Theorem to compare corresponding side lengths of the triangles that are proportional to each other.

<h3>What is the Triangle Proportionality Theorem?</h3>

Triangle proportionality theorem states that if a line is parallel to one of the sides of a triangle intersects two of the other two sides, it divides the two sides into proportional corresponding segments.

1. Assuming that OP || NM, we would apply the triangle proportionality theorem to have the following ratio:

\frac{ON}{LO} = \frac{PM}{LP}

Using the above ratio, we can choose the following possible lengths for the segments:

ON = 3 units

LO = 1 unit

PM = 6 units

LP = 2 units

2. The values are decided assuming that the ratio, \frac{ON}{LO} = \frac{PM}{LP} = 3

This means that the ratio of the proportional segments, irrespective of the their measurement should give you an assumed equal ratio of 3:1.

Therefore, since:

\frac{3}{1} = 3\\\\\frac{6}{2} = 3

The measurements, ON = 3 units, LO = 1 unit, PM = 6 units, LP = 2 units are therefore possible measurements.

3. Using the AA Similarity Theorem to prove that ΔLPO ≅ ΔLMN, the corresponding sides of both triangles will be proportional.

LP/LM = LO/LN = PO/MN

We can use this to choose possible measurements while assuming a ratio between the proportional sides of both triangles.

Let's assume that: LP/LM = LO/LN = PO/MN = 1/4

Let,

LO = 1 unit

LN = 4 units

Therefore, ON = LN - LO = 4 - 1 = 3 units.

Same way the other possible measures can be gotten provided a ratio is assumed.

Which one is bigger 64 in or 5 ft
anzhelika [568]
64 inches is greater than 5ft. There are 12 inches in a foot. You should divide 64 by 12. You will get 5.333 (repeating, in this instance we will round up to 5.4)

During a figure skating routine, Jackie and Peter skate apart with an angle of 15° between them. Jackie skates for 5 meters and
Fantom [35]

Answer:

Ans = 2.53m

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a simple law of Cosine, on a right-angle triangle draw the length as 5 and the base as 7 the angle is 15°. Find x.

So x = 5² +7² - 2 (5) (7)cos 15°

Solve this and you get your answer.

Hope this was helpful :)
