What is the value of x ? enter your answer as a decimal in the box

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Triangles MNP and MAB are similar by AAA theorem

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is equal

so

substitute the values

b.an increase in a causes b to decrease

answer: (c) m∠qpo + (2x + 16)° = 180°

step-by-step explanation:

the opposite angles of a quadrilateral are supplementary.

so, ∠o + ∠q = 180°   and   ∠p + ∠r = 180°

since ∠r = 2x + 16°, we can use substitution as follows:

∠p + ∠r = 180°

∠p + (2x + 16)° = 180°
