Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
As the given triangle is equilateral as all the sides of the triangle are equal.
[tex]MN = 3x-8[/tex]
[tex]NO=2x-1[/tex]
[tex]OM=5x-22[/tex]
As all the sides are equal, i.e.
[tex]MN=NO=OM[/tex]
as
[tex]MN=NO[/tex]
[tex]3x-8=2x-1[/tex]
Add 8 to both sides
[tex]3x-8+8=2x-1+8[/tex]
[tex]3x=2x+7[/tex]
[tex]x=7[/tex]
Hence, the value of x = 7
so putting the value of x to determine the lengths of the
segments MN, NO, and MO
[tex]MN = 3x - 8[/tex]
[tex]= 3(7)-8[/tex]
[tex]=21-8[/tex]
[tex]=13[/tex]
Hence, the length of MN = 13
[tex]NO = 2x-1[/tex]
[tex]=2(7)-1[/tex]
[tex]=14-1[/tex]
[tex]=13[/tex]
Hence, the length of NO = 13
[tex]OM = 5x-22[/tex]
[tex]= 5(7)-22[/tex]
[tex]= 35-22[/tex]
[tex]=13[/tex]
Hence, the length of OM = 13
