Question

Point O is on line segment NP. Given NP= 18 and NO=10, determine the length OP

Answer 1

If O is on line segment NP

Then;

NP = NO + OP

From the question, NP = 18 NO=10

Substitute into the equation;

18 = 10 + OP

subtract 10 from both-side of the equation

18 -10 = 10-10 + OP

8 = OP

The length of OP is 8
