Find JL if JK = 17 - x, KL = 2x - 7, and K is the midpoint of JL

1 answer:

6 0

I'm assuming that the line is JKL in order of the points from left to right.

JK + KL = JL
(17-x) + (2x-7) = JL
Simplify.
10-x = JL

3) The foot of a ladder is 1.2 m from a fence

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer: $4.5\ meters$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the data given in the exercise, we can draw the diagram attached, where "h" is the height of the building reached by the top of the ladder.

Notice that there are two similar triangles.

So, you can set up the following proportion:

$\frac{1.8}{1.2}=\frac{h}{(1.2+1.8)}$

Finally, in order to calculate the height on the building reached by the top of the ladder, you must solve for "h".

Therefore, the value of "h" is :

$\frac{1.8}{1.2}=\frac{h}{3}\\\\(3)(\frac{1.8}{1.2})=h\\\\\frac{5.4}{1.2}=h\\\\h=4.5$

an Carlos County Health Department reported 17 new cases of tuberculosis in the first half of 2001 and 18 additional cases durin

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

San Carlos County

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Number of cases of tuberculosis reported in the first half of 2001 = 17

Number of cases of tuberculosis reported in the second half = 18

Total number of cases reported = 35 (17 + 18)

Population of the county at the beginning of 2001 = 204,500

Population of the county at the end of the year = 215,000

Average population for the year = 209,750 (204,500 + 215,000)/2

Therefore, the incidence rate of tuberculosis in the county = 35/209,750 * 100

= 0.000167

b) Since the incidence rate is <1, it suggests that the population of San Carlos County is at a very reduced risk of exposure to tuberculosis. This means that only 1 in 6,000 (209,750/35) people are exposed to the disease in the county.
