To find the lengths of MN and PN, we can first set up a proportion using the ratio given.
Since the ratio of MN to PN is 7:5, we can set up the proportion as follows:
MN/PN = 7/5
Now, we can substitute PN = 12 into the proportion:
MN/12 = 7/5
Cross multiplying, we get:
5MN = 84
Dividing by 5, we get:
MN = 16.8
Now we can calculate PN using the ratio:
PN = 12 - MNPN = 12 - 16.8PN = -4.8
Therefore, the lengths of MN and PN are 16.8 and -4.8 respectively.

PN = 12 - 16.8
PN = -4.8
Therefore, the lengths of MN and PN are 16.8 and -4.8 respectively.
