Question

Can somebody solve this?

Answer 1

MO = 12

PR = 3

Explanation:

The perimeter of a triangle is calculated by adding all side lengths up:

The perimeter of triangle MNO is given as 48

The perimeter of triangle PQR is given as 12

The ratio is 1/4 (simplified ratio of 12/48)

we can write the following equation using this information:

`(x+2)/(12x) = (1)/(4)`

cross multiply fractions

12x = 4x + 8

subtract 4x from both sides

8x = 8

divide both sides by 8

x = 1

Now to find the measure of side lengths in question we replace x with 1

for MO = 12x

12*1 = 12

for PR = x + 2

1 + 2 = 3
