Answer: 7 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

       If x is the first piece, and the second piece is twice as long, then the second piece is 2x.

        If the third piece is three times as long as the first piece, x, then the third piece is 3x.

       The 42-inch board must be equal to all 3 pieces, so we will set up an equation and solve for x.

42 = x + 2x + 3x

42 = 6x

42 = 6x

7 = x

              The first piece is 7 inches long.

2<br> 1<br> X 46<br> 7. Find the m 2 JKL<br> in rhombus JKLM
almond37 [142]

Step-by-step explanation:

since KLJ is a parallelogram, it can be split into 2 congruent triangles, as seen above. The angles remain the same, so we know angle KJL is also 25 degrees. Using the triangle angle sum theorem (all sides of a triangle add up to 180 degrees), we can determine the missing angle measure is 25 degrees. It would have been nice if the question told us JKLM was also a rhombus.
