Question 22.
Given:
• LQ = 9
,
• QP = 12
,
• LM = 6
• LN = x
Let's solve for x and MN.
Here, both triangles are similar.
To solve for the missing sides, apply the proportionality equation.
We have:
• Where:
LP = LQ + QP = 9 + 12 = 21
• Input values into the equation and solve for x:
• Cross multiply:
• Divide both sides by 9:
The value of x = 14.
To solve for MN, we have:
LN = LM + MN
MN = LN - LM
MN = 14 - 6
MN = 8
ANSWER:
• Proportion to solve x:
• x = , 14
• MN = , 8
