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.

Nata [24]

Answer:

Let x represents the week and y represents the amount of money.

As per the given statement:

Diego has $11 and begins $5 each week toward buying a new phone.

⇒               ......[1]

It is also given that Lin $60 and begins spending $2 per week.

⇒               ....[2]

when they have the same amount.

equate [1] and [2] we get;

Add both sides 2x we get;

Subtract 11 from both sides we get;

Divide both sides by 7 we get;

x = 7

Substitute the value of x = 7 in [1] we have;

Therefore, at x= 7 week they have the same amount of money and they  have the amount at that time, $ 46

Nitella [24]
The hypothesis testing for this problem is:
a. The hypothesis for this problem are:
Null: H0: μ=6
Alternative: Ha: μ≠6
 
b. Test
T-statistics = (6.08 - 6) / 0.44* √(121) = 2
 
c. P value = 0.047759
 
Since our p-value is smaller than the significant level of 0.05, we can say that we reject the null hypothesis.

Conclusion: there is enough evidence to say lathe is not in perfect adjustment.
