In △MNP , point Q is between points M and N, and point R is between points N and P. Point H is the incenter of the triangle, HQ⊥MN, and HR ⊥NP. QN=36 and HN=39 . What is HR ? Enter your answer in the box.

15

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are represented by drawing the triangle with the details given using MS Visio

The point Q is located between points M and N in ΔMNP

The point R is located between points N and P in ΔMNP

The incenter of the triangle = H

Line HQ is perpendicular to side MN on ΔMNP

Line HR is perpendicular to side NP on ΔMNP

The length of the segment QN = 36

The length of the segment HN = 39

By Pythagoras' theorem, HQ = √((HN)² - (QN)²)

∴ HQ = √(39² - 36²)  = 15

HQ = 15

Given that H is the incenter of ΔMNP, the lengths of the perpendicular from H to the sides of the triangle are equal to the radius of the inscribed circle of the triangle

Therefore, the radius lengths are HQ, and HR

∴ HR = HQ = 15

HR = 15.

the answer

b. they are parallel and will never intersect.
