ANSWER

x=50.6

EXPLANATION

Triangle ABM and triangle NPM are similar.

Therefore the corresponding sides are in the same proportion.

[tex] \frac{MB}{MP} = \frac{MA}{MN} [/tex]

MA=46.2-14=32.2

MP=72.6

MN=46.2

We substitute these values into the equation to obtain,

[tex] \frac{x}{72.6} = \frac{32.2}{46.2} [/tex]

We multiply both sides by 72.6 to obtain,

[tex]x= \frac{32.2}{46.2} \times 72.6[/tex]


[tex]x=50.6[/tex]
