Answer:

42.9

Explanation:

The triangles are similar, so corresponding side lengths are proportional.

Consider the left side of the figure:

MA +AN = MN

MA = MN -AN = 67.2 -32 = 35.2

Now, we can write the proportion ...

MB/MP = MA/MN

x/81.9 = 35.2/67.2 . . . . . .fill in the known values

x = 81.9(35.2/67.2) . . . . . multiply by 81.9

x = 42.9
