The perimeter of the triangle NKP is 49 \ 50m, the side of NK is 2 \ 5m, and it is 2 \ 25m
The perimeter of the triangle NKP is 49 \ 50m, the side of NK is 2 \ 5m, and it is 2 \ 25m less than the side of KP. Find NP.
1. From the data presented in the problem statement, we know that the length of the side NK in a given triangle is 2/5 m.
2. Let us calculate what is the length of the KP side in this triangle, if we also know that it is more than the NK side by 2/25 m.
2/5 + 2/25 = (2 * 5) / 25 + 2/25 = 10/25 + 2/25 = 12/25 m.
3. Now let’s calculate what the side NP in this triangle is equal to if its perimeter is 49/50 m. To do this, subtract the sum of the lengths of the two known sides of the triangle from the perimeter, we get:
49/50 – (2/5 + 12/25) = 49/50 – (10/25 + 12/25) = 49/50 – 22/25 = 49/50 – 44/50 = 5/50 = 1 / 10 m.
Answer: The length of the NP side is 1/10 m.
