Question
In triangle MNO, PQ is drawn parallel to side NO. If MP = 5
cm, PN = 10 cm and MQ = 6 cm, find MO.Solution
ATQ,
A line drawn parallel to one side divides the other two sides in equal ratios.
(MP / PN) = (MQ / QO)
=> (5 / 10) = (6 / QO)
=> QO = (6 × 10) / 5 = 12 cm
So, MO = MQ + QO = 6 + 12 = 18 cm
