Answer:

C. Angle Bisector Theorem

x = 5

PO = 34

Explanation:

The theorem used is C: Angle bisector theorem

A can be eliminated because there is no midsegment here

B can also be eliminated - no perpendicular bisector

D relates to a median and there is no median here

C is the best choice. You can see in the figure that EO bisects ∠NEP.

Because of this angles ∠NEO and ∠OEP are equal

That makes the triangles congruent since we have one common side and two angles that are equal to each other

Therefore PO = NO

8x - 6 = 6x + 4

8x - 6x = 4 + 6

2x = 10

x = 5

PO = 8(5) - 6 = 40 - 6 = 34
