Answer to Problem 8PSA

The value of OP is 8, PR = 4 and MR is 5.33

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

  GJKL~MOPR

Formula used:

The below properties are used:

Corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional.

Means extremes product theorem:

If a product of a pair of not zero numbers is equal to the product of another pair of not zero numbers, then either pair of numbers be made the extremes, and the other pair the means, of proportion.

Calculation:

It is given that,

  GJKL~MOPR

  Geometry For Enjoyment And Challenge, Chapter 8.4, Problem 8PSA

Corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional.

  GJ/MO = JK/OP9/6 = 12/ OP

Applying means extremes product theorem, we get

  9*OP = 72OP =18

Corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional.

  GJ/MO = LK/PR9/6 = 6/ PR

Applying means extremes product theorem, we get

  9*PR = 36PR =4

Corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional.

  GJ/MO = GL/MR9/6 = 8/ OP

Applying means extremes product theorem, we get

  9*MR= 48MR =5.33
