Question

Triangles MOP and MNQ are similar. Find x.

Answer 1

Hello Ms tiff :)
Does this diagram look correct?

Answer 2

If we take the ratio of the sides of the smaller triangle,
we can `equate` them to the sides of the larger triangle since the triangles are similar

Answer 3

it does look correct :)

Answer 4

\[\Large\rm \frac{4}{6}=\frac{4+x}{6+2}\]Understand how I set that up? :o

Answer 5

Do you have multiple choices for this question?

Answer 6

I do understand :) No, I just have to fill in a box

Answer 7

so x=4/3?

Answer 8

Mmmm yah that sounds about right!

Answer 9

THANKYOU SO MUCH! would you PLEASE help me with another one? I truly need help

Answer 10

I need to find the measure of angle W

Answer 11

When we have an inscribed angle like this x,
it is half the measure of the length of the arc.
So in the example I made, \(\Large\rm \angle x=\frac{1}{2}\stackrel{\frown}{n}\)
