<PRE><B>Question 1193157</B>
&lt;br&gt;
Angles M and Q are the right angles; the sum of angles N and P is 180 degrees.  Given that angle N is 56 degrees more than angle P,&lt;br&gt;
x = angle P
x+56 = angle N
x+x+56=180
2x=124
x=62&lt;br&gt;
ANSWER 1: Angle P is 62 degrees&lt;br&gt;
Drop a perpendicular from N to QP, forming a right triangle with hypotenuse NP.  The legs of the triangle are MQ=15 and QP-MN=8; the Pythagorean Theorem tells us the hypotenuse is 17.&lt;br&gt;
ANSWER 2: NP = 17&lt;br&gt;
