Part C
Calculate the ratio of the lengths of the two line segments formed on each transversal. You will have two sets of calculations. Round your answers to the hundredths place. What do you notice about the ratios of the lengths for each transversal? How do they compare?

Answer:

Line segment PM = 4.2 length

ML = 6.2

ON = 3

NK = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Just got it on plato your welcome:)

The segments formed by each transversals and the three parallel lines are

proportional according to the three parallel lines theorem.

The observations are;

  • The parallel lines divide the transversals in equal proportions, such that the ratio of the lengths of each transversal are equal.

  • [tex]\displaystyle \mathrm{ Ratio \ of \ the \ segments ;\ }\frac{\overline{CB}}{\overline{AB}} = \frac{\overline{EF}}{\overline{DE}}[/tex]

Reasons:

The question is a four part question

Let the equations of the parallel lines be as follows;

Line, x; y = x

Line, y; y = x + 1

Line z; y = x + 2

The points at which transversal 1 intersect the lines x, y, and z, are;

A(0.4, 0.4), B(0.6, 1.6), and C(0.8, 2.8)

The length of segment [tex]\overline{AB}[/tex] = √((0.6 - 0.4)² + (1.6 - 0.4)²) = 0.2·√(37)

The length of segment [tex]\mathbf{\overline{CB}}[/tex] = √((0.8 - 0.6)² + (2.8 - 1.6)²) = 0.2·√(37)

The ratio of the lengths of the segment formed by transversal 1 is therefore;

[tex]\sqrt{x} \displaystyle Ratio \ of \ the \ length \ of \ the \ segments = \mathbf{\frac{\overline{CB}}{\overline{AB}}} =\frac{2 \cdot \sqrt{37} }{2 \cdot \sqrt{37} } = 1[/tex]

The points at which transversal 2 intersect the lines x, y, and z, are;

D(1.1, 3.1), E(1.3, 2.3), and F(1.5, 1.5)

The length of segment [tex]\overline{DE}[/tex] = √((1.3 - 1.1)² + (2.3 - 3.1)²) = 0.2·√(17)

The length of segment [tex]\overline{EF}[/tex] = √((1.5 - 1.3)² + (1.5 - 2.3)²) = 0.2·√(17)

[tex]\sqrt{x} \displaystyle Ratio \ of \ the \ length \ of \ the \ segments = \mathbf{\frac{\overline{EF}}{\overline{DE}}} =\frac{0.2 \cdot \sqrt{17} }{0.2 \cdot \sqrt{17} } = 1[/tex]

Therefore;

  • [tex]\displaystyle \frac{\overline{CB}}{\overline{AB}} = \frac{\overline{EF}}{\overline{DE}} = 1[/tex]

Which gives;

  • The proportion with which the parallel lines divide the transversals are equal.
  • The ratio of the lengths for each transversal are equal.

The the comparison can also be made with the triangle proportionality theorem.
