12:15 - 1+1 = 2
12:30 - 2 + 2 = 4
12:45 - 4 + 4 = 8
1 - 8 +8 = 16
1:15.......
.......
3 - 4096

Okay so there is 1 cell and it starts doubling at 12:00 every 15 minutes that is 4 times every hour and there is three hours so 4 x 3 = 12 so it doubles 12 times then 12 x 2 = 24 so at 3pm that cell would have multiplied it self into 24 other cells

If m< LMP is 11 degrees more than m< NMP and m< NML =137, find each measure

Agata [3.3K]

First, note that for angles LMP and NMP you have

$m\angle LMP+m\angle NMP=m\angle NML.$

If $m\angle LMP$ is $11^{\circ}$ more than $m\angle MNP,$ then

$m\angle LMP=m\angle NMP+11^{\circ}.$

Now, since $m\angle MNL=137^{\circ},$ you have

$137^{\circ}=m\angle NMP+11^{\circ}+m\angle NMP,\\ \\2m\angle NMP=137^{\circ}-11^{\circ}=126^{\circ},\\ \\m\angle NMP=63^{\circ}.$

Therefore,

$m\angle LMP=63^{\circ}+11^{\circ}=74^{\circ}.$

Answer: $m\angle LMP=74^{\circ},\ m\angle NMP=63^{\circ}.$
