in the diagram of LPN below, QM||PN,LQ=6,LM=11, and MN=22. What is the length of LP

Answer:
LP=18
Explanation:
To find the length of LP, we use the Triangle Proportionality Theorem.
Applying this to LPN, we have:
[tex]\frac{LQ}{QP}=\frac{LM}{MN}[/tex]Substituting the given values, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{6}{PQ}=\frac{11}{22} \\ \frac{6}{PQ}=\frac{1}{2} \\ PQ=6\times2 \\ PQ=12 \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore:
[tex]\begin{gathered} LP=LQ+PQ \\ =6+12 \\ =18\text{ units} \end{gathered}[/tex]
