The points l,m,n and o all lie on the same line segment, in that order such that the ratio of lm : mn : no is equal to 3 : 1 : 2. if lo =30, find ln.

Respuesta :

The length of the line segment 'ln' = 20 units

For given question,

The points l, m, n and o all lie on the same line segment, in that order such that the ratio of lm : mn : no is equal to 3 : 1 : 2.

⇒  lm : mn : no = 3 : 1 : 2

If the ratio is multiplied by x, which is the factor that brings the ratio to its original value,

lm : mn : no = 3x : 1x : 2x

So, the length of the line segments lm, mn, and no are 3x, 1x, and 2x, respectively.

We have been given the distance lo is 30 units.

⇒ 3x + 1x + 2x = 30

⇒ 6x = 30

⇒ x = 5

We need to find the length of line segment ln.

⇒ ln = lm + mn

⇒ ln = 3x + 1x

⇒ ln = x(3 + 1)

⇒ ln = 4x

⇒ ln = 4(5)

⇒ ln = 20 units

Therefore, the length of the line segment 'ln' = 20 units
