7 Triangle MNQ Is Similar To Triangle MOP N 30 Cm 9 Cm M 0 12 Cm P M M 24 Cm Find The Length Of NQ O A 96 Cm O B 15 Cm O C 60 Cm O D 225 Cm Please Help It Is Du class=

Sagot :

If the triangles MNQ and MOP are similar, then you know that the corresponding sides are at the same ratio. Because of this property, we can determine that:

[tex]\frac{MN}{MO}=\frac{MQ}{MP}=\frac{NQ}{OP}[/tex]

We know the measure of the corresponding sides MQ=12cm and MO=24cm, and the measure of the corresponding side to NQ, using these measures we can calculate NQ as follows:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{MQ}{MO}=\frac{NQ}{OP} \\ \frac{12}{24}=\frac{x}{30} \\ 30(\frac{12}{24})=x \\ x=15 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Side NQ measures 15 cm

The correct option is B.
