<span>LJK = KJM
-10x +3 = -x + 21
-10x + x = 21 - 3
-9x = 18
x = -2
KJM = -x + 21 = 2 + 21 = 23
LJM = LJK + KJM
LJM = 23 + 23
LJM = 46º..
i think thats how its done </span>
X^2+5^2=7^2
x^2+25=49
(49-25)
x^2=24
sqrt(24)=4.89897948557
You had the right idea using the Pythagorean theorem to solve for b.
Problem is for that triangle to work, the 5 and the 2√2 would have to switch places. The length of a leg cannot be larger than the length of the hypotenuse for it to truly be a right triangle.
Pythagorean theorem only works for the right triangles. Only way to "solve this problem would be to bring in complex numbers.
5² + b² = (2√2)²
25 + b² = 2²(√2)²
25 + b² = 4(2)
25 + b² = 8
b² = 8 - 25
b² = - 17
b = √-17
b= (√17i)
Then the problem with THIS is a measurement/distance cannot be negative... which goes against exactly what that complex number i is.
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation: since it is a open dot to the right it’s x>-3 open dot means less than or greater than going to right means greater than
