Answer:
Line segment PM = 4.2 length
ML = 6.2
ON = 3
NK = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Just got it on plato your welcome:)
The segments formed by each transversals and the three parallel lines are
proportional according to the three parallel lines theorem.
The observations are;
- The parallel lines divide the transversals in equal proportions, such that the ratio of the lengths of each transversal are equal.
- [tex]\displaystyle \mathrm{ Ratio \ of \ the \ segments ;\ }\frac{\overline{CB}}{\overline{AB}} = \frac{\overline{EF}}{\overline{DE}}[/tex]
Reasons:
The question is a four part question
Let the equations of the parallel lines be as follows;
Line, x; y = x
Line, y; y = x + 1
Line z; y = x + 2
The points at which transversal 1 intersect the lines x, y, and z, are;
A(0.4, 0.4), B(0.6, 1.6), and C(0.8, 2.8)
The length of segment [tex]\overline{AB}[/tex] = √((0.6 - 0.4)² + (1.6 - 0.4)²) = 0.2·√(37)
The length of segment [tex]\mathbf{\overline{CB}}[/tex] = √((0.8 - 0.6)² + (2.8 - 1.6)²) = 0.2·√(37)
The ratio of the lengths of the segment formed by transversal 1 is therefore;
[tex]\sqrt{x} \displaystyle Ratio \ of \ the \ length \ of \ the \ segments = \mathbf{\frac{\overline{CB}}{\overline{AB}}} =\frac{2 \cdot \sqrt{37} }{2 \cdot \sqrt{37} } = 1[/tex]
The points at which transversal 2 intersect the lines x, y, and z, are;
D(1.1, 3.1), E(1.3, 2.3), and F(1.5, 1.5)
The length of segment [tex]\overline{DE}[/tex] = √((1.3 - 1.1)² + (2.3 - 3.1)²) = 0.2·√(17)
The length of segment [tex]\overline{EF}[/tex] = √((1.5 - 1.3)² + (1.5 - 2.3)²) = 0.2·√(17)
[tex]\sqrt{x} \displaystyle Ratio \ of \ the \ length \ of \ the \ segments = \mathbf{\frac{\overline{EF}}{\overline{DE}}} =\frac{0.2 \cdot \sqrt{17} }{0.2 \cdot \sqrt{17} } = 1[/tex]
Therefore;
- [tex]\displaystyle \frac{\overline{CB}}{\overline{AB}} = \frac{\overline{EF}}{\overline{DE}} = 1[/tex]
Which gives;
- The proportion with which the parallel lines divide the transversals are equal.
- The ratio of the lengths for each transversal are equal.
The the comparison can also be made with the triangle proportionality theorem.
