Question

What is the value of x, given that OP||NQ ?
(1 point)
x = 10
x = 20
x = 13
x = 25.5

Answer 1

Can you see that triangle MNQ and MOP are similar? You can set up a ratio to solve for x.

Answer 2

NQ = 18 and 20, 20-18 = 2

OP = 9 and x, 10 - 9 = 1

Seems pretty similar, that'd be my guess since 11 isn't an option.

Answer 3

I need the right answer, Veritas. :/

Answer 4

No, similar means that triangles MNQ and MOP are scaled versions of each other, not "similar looking."

Answer 5

Also, SithsAndGiggles, hah. I get it.

Answer 6

I was basing it on math, not the picture.

Usually for that type of question you just take the half of the middle and add it for the base, so OP would be NQ + 1/2 NQ

Answer 7

Great. :) do you know this one ?

Answer 8

Or is it OP = NQ + NQ...

Siths, if you know the answer, why not explain it in depth instead of just saying "no thats wrong"?

Answer 9

wait on the other one is it 10 or not?

Answer 10

You have to set up a ratio, like I said in my first post. Since OP and NQ are parallel, you know the triangles are similiar. Here's the ratio:\[\frac{18+9}{18}=\frac{20+x}{20}\]

Answer 11

Ah. Makes sense. Sorry, I was rushing, sort of in a hurry and being messaged by like 3 people.

Answer 12

No worries. @Emily778, the ratio is the same as
\[\frac{MO}{MN}=\frac{MP}{MQ}\]

Answer 13

so, what's the answer?

Answer 14

If you solve for x, you should find it to be x=10.

Answer 15

So I was right, I just didn't do the correct math for it. ._.

Answer 16

ah. can you tell me the answer to the 2nd one I posted up above your comments?

Answer 17

Would it be 8?

Answer 18

idunno

Answer 19

is it 8?

Answer 20

You'd set up another ratio:
\[\frac{24+x}{24}=\frac{36+12}{36}\]
Then solve for x.

Answer 21

Yes, x=8.

Answer 22

36 / 3 = 12
24 / 3 = 8

Is all I did. ._.

Answer 23

lol :) what about this one?
LO bisects NLM, LM = 18, NO = 4, and LN = 10. What is the value of x?

Answer 24

2 MORE THATS IT I PROMISE

Answer 25

Including this one

Answer 26

Try your luck with other people. I'm getting a bit tired of just telling you what to do with little to no effort on your part.

Answer 27

I'll give you a medal :D

Answer 28

Frankly, I don't care. It means nothing to me.

Answer 29

Well then.
