Given that the segment MK is 7 units in length and the segment MN is 6 units in length, the ratio of the lengths MK to MN is 7:4.
To find the length of the segment PN, we can set up a proportion using the given ratio:
MK/MN = 7/4
Let x be the length of PN:
MK/PN = 7/x
Since MN = MK - PN, we can substitute the values we know:
7/4 = 7/(6+x)
Now we can solve for x:
7(6+x) = 4(7) 42 + 7x = 28 7x = -14 x = -2
Therefore, the length of segment PN is -2 units. However, since length cannot be negative, it seems there might be an error in the calculations. Please check the data and calculations again to verify the answer.
