Question

bisects ∡NLM, LM = 26, NO

= 8, and LN = 18. What is the
value of x?
(1 point)
x = 84.5
x = 58.5
x = 11.6
x = 5.5

To solve for x, we can use the Angle Bisector Theorem which states that the angle bisector divides the opposite side into two segments that are proportional to the other two sides.

Let's denote the points where ON intersects LM as point P.
According to the Angle Bisector Theorem:

LN / NP = LM / MP
18 / x = 26 / (26 - x)
18 / x = 26 / (26 - x)
18(26 - x) = 26x
468 - 18x = 26x
44 = x

Therefore, x = 44.

Therefore, the correct answer is x = 44.

Answer 2

Answer form the choices

Answer 3

From the available choices:

x = 84.5
x = 58.5
x = 11.6
x = 5.5

Based on our calculation, x = 44, which is not included in the given choices. It seems none of the given choices match the solution we found.

Answer 4

fine the best one that would fit

Answer 5

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

If none of the given choices match the calculated value of x = 44, let's look for the best fitting option from the choices provided.

Since 44 lies between 11.6 and 58.5, the best fitting choice would be x = 58.5. This is the closest option to the actual value of x = 44 among the choices given.
