In the diagram below of triangle MNPMNP, QQ is a midpoint of \overline{MN} MN
and RR is a midpoint of \overline{NP}
NP
. If QR=11-xQR=11−x, and MP=57-7xMP=57−7x, what is the measure of MPMP?

Given that MNP is a triangle. Q is the midpoint of MN and R is the midpoint of NP.

The length of QR is 4x -11 and the length of MP is 9x - 29.

We need to determine the measure of MP.

Value of x:

The value of x can be determined using the triangle midsegment theore

Applying the theorem, we have;

Substituting the lengths, we get;

Subtracting both sides by 8x, we have;

Adding both sides of the equation by 29, we get;Thus, the value of x is 7.

Measure of MP:

The measure of MP can be determined by substituting x = 7 in the length of MP.

Thus, we have;

Thus, the measure of MP is 34.

center (1,3) with radius 6

step-by-step explanation:

we must complete the square to find the center and radius of the circle.

first make sure the x and y squared terms have 1 as their coefficients. we also make sure x and y terms together.

we now create space between the x and y terms with parenthesis.

we complete the square by taking the middle terms -2x and the -6y - divide each and square them.

we add the squares to both sides.

simplify.

and write the quadratics in factored form.

the center is (h,k) or (1,3). the radius is the square root of 36 which is 6.
