Using the circle theorems, the value of z is 45

<h3>Circle Geometry </h3>

From the question, we are to determine the value of z

From the given information,

KM is a diameter

∴ ∠KLM = 90° (<em>Angle in a semicircle</em>)

Also, ΔKLM is isosceles

∴ ∠KML = ∠MKL (<em>Base angles of an isosceles triangle</em>)

Then,

∠KML + ∠MKL + ∠KLM = 180° (<em>Sum of angles in a triangle</em>)

2× ∠KML + 90° = 180°

2× ∠KML = 180° - 90°

2× ∠KML = 90°

∠KML = 90°/2

∠KML = 45°

Now, we can observe that

z° = ∠KML (<em>Angles in alternate segment</em>)

But,

∠KML = 45°

∴ z = 45

Hence, the value of z is 45

-3 | -8n – 8 | = -120<br><br> Can you guys solve for absolute value??
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

n = -6 or n = 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

-3 | -8n – 8 | = -120

Divide both sides by -3:

| -8n – 8 |  = 40

This gives us 2 equations because the expression in the absolute signs can be positive or negative:

-8n - 8 = 40

so -8n = 48

n = -6.

and

-8n - 8 = -40

-8n = -32

n = 4.
