What’s the correct answer for this?

54

Step-by-step explanation:

Since diameter AB divides MN into two equal parts hence

MO = NO

NOW,

5x+34 = -2(1-7x)

5x+34 = -2+14x

34+2 = 14x-5x

36 = 9x

Dividing both sides by 9

x = 4

Now,

NO = -2(1-7(4))

NO = -2+56

NO = -2+56

NO = 54

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2

+2+=+%2836%2fx%29%5e2+

+2+=+1296%2fx%5e2+

++x%5e2+=+1296%2f2+=+648+

step-by-step explanation:

there are 36 inches in a yard

25 : 36 = 0.69 yards (you can round to 0.70)
