In ∆MNP, NQ is a bisector of ∠N. If MN = 5, PN = 7 MQ = 2.5 then Find QP.
Solution
[text{ In } bigtriangleup PNM, ]
[frac{QM}{QP} = frac{MN}{PN} left( text{ By angle bisector theorem } right)]
[ Rightarrow frac{2 . 5}{QP} = frac{5}{7}]
[Rightarrow QP = frac{2 . 5 times 7}{5}]
[ = 3 . 5]
Hence, the measure of QP is 3.5.
Solution:-
In triangle MNP, NQ is a bisector of ∠N.
Using the angle bisector theorem:
- QM/QP = MN/PN
Substituting given values:
- 2.5/QP = 5/7
Solving for QP:
- QP = (2.5 x 7)/5 = 3.5
Therefore, the length of QP is 3.5.
