Trig work that i don’t understand. pls help

B. 642.22 units squared

Step-by-step explanation:

Knowing that QP ║ MN and ∠QLP = ∠MLN, then ΔQLP ~ ΔMLN.

That means corresponding sides and heights have the same ratios.

We know that QP = 25, which corresponds to MN = 34. Also, the height of ΔQLP, LS, corresponds to the height of ΔMLN, LR = LS + SR = LS + 10. Let's say LS = x.

We can now write:

QP / MN = LS / LR

25 / 34 = x / (x + 10)

Cross-multiply:

34 * x = 25 * (x + 10)

34x = 25x + 250

34x - 25x = 250

9x = 250

x = 250/9 ≈ 27.78 units

So, LS = 27.78 units and LR = LS + SR = 27.78 + 10 = 37.78 units.

The area of a triangle is denoted by A = (1/2) * b * h, where b is the base and h is the height.

Here, the base of ΔLMN is MN = 34, and the height is LR = 37.78. Plug these in:

A = (1/2) * b * h

A = (1/2) * 34 * 37.78 ≈ 642.22 units squared

The answer is thus B.

8(-10x+3.5y-7)

8×-10x + 8×3.5y + 8×-7

-80x + 28y - 56

therefore

-80x+28y-56 is the correct answer
