Question
**Geometry Problem: Finding the Length of a Segment** In the triangle \( \triangle MNP \), we have: - \( MN = 3 \) - \( NP = 4 \) - \( MQ \) is perpendicular to \( NP \) (indicating that \( MQ \) is the height from \( M \) to \( NP \)) - \( \angle NQP \) is \( 90^\circ \) **Problem Statement:** In the figure above, what is the length of \( NQ \)? **Options:** A) 2.2 B) 2.3 C) 2.4 D) 2.5 **Explanation of Diagram:** The triangle \( \triangle MNP \) is shown with its height \( MQ \) drawn from point \( M \) to line \( NP \), creating a right angle at \( Q \). The triangle forms two right triangles: \( \triangle MNQ \) and \( \triangle MQP \). We need to find the length of segment \( NQ \).
