Answer:

  • MN = 68
  • MO = 76
  • ON = 68
  • perimeter = 212

Explanation:

You have ∆MNO with ∠M≅∠O and sides MN = 22x+24, MO = 6x+64, ON = 10x+48. You want the length of each side, and the perimeter.

Side lengths

Angles M and O being congruent means that sides ON and MN are congruent:

ON = MN

10x +48 = 22x +24

24 = 12x . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 10x+24

2 = x . . . . . . . . . . divide by 12

Then the side lengths are ...

ON = MN = 10x +48 = 10(2) +48 = 68

MO = 6x +64 = 6(2) +64 = 76

Perimeter

The perimeter is the sum of the side lengths:

ON +MN +MO = 68 +68 +76 = 212

The side lengths and perimeter are ...

  • MN = 68
  • MO = 76
  • ON = 68
  • perimeter = 212.
AMNO, LM = LO. If MN = 22x + 24, MO = 6x + 64, and ON = 10x + 48, determine the length-example-1
