Answer:

RN = 6.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle Proportionality Theorem: If a line parallel to one side of a triangle intersects the other two sides, then it divides the two sides proportionally.

Therefore,

MQ : MP = MR : MN

⇒ 8 : (8 + 5) = 10 : (10 + RN)

⇒ 8 : 13 = 10 : (10 + RN)

⇒ [tex]\sf\dfrac{8}{13}=\dfrac{10}{10+RN}[/tex]

Cross multiply and solve:

⇒ 8(10 + RN) = 10 × 13

⇒ 80 + 8RN = 130

⇒ 8RN = 130 - 80

⇒ 8RN = 50

⇒ RN = 50 ÷ 8

⇒ RN = 6.25
