Answer:

The Length of JM is 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

JKLM is a kite in which JL and KM are the diagonals that intersect at point A.

Length of AK = 9    

Length of JK = 15  

Length of AM = 16

Solution,

Since JKLM is a kite. And JL and KM are the diagonals.

And we know that the diagonals of a kite perpendicularly bisects each other.

So, JL ⊥ KM.

Therefore ΔJAK is aright angled triangle.

Now according to Pythagoras Theorem which states that;

"The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the square of base and square of perpendicular".

JK^2=KA^2+AJ^2

On putting the values, we get;

(15)^2=9^2+AJ^2\\\\225=81+AJ^2\\\\AJ^2=225-81=144

On taking square root onboth side, we get;

\sqrt{AJ^2} =\sqrt{144}\\\\AJ=12

Again By Pythagoras Theorem,

AJ^2+AM^2=JM^2

On putting the values, we get;

JM^2=(12)^2+(16)^2\\\\JM^2=144+256=400

On taking square root onboth side, we get;

\sqrt {JM^2}=\sqrt{400}\\\\JM=20

Hence The Length of JM is 20.

In rectangle ABCD, if the coordinates of A are (0, 0) and of C are (r, s), find the coordinates of B and D.
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

Answers are (r,0) and (0,s)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in a rectangle ABCD, one vertex is the origin (0,0) A

The opposite vertex C is having coordinates as (r,s)

Since a rectangle has angle 90 we have x axis as one side and y axis as other side.

Length = r and width =s (since coordinates of C are (r,s))

Hence other coordinate B on x axis would be = (r,0)

and D on y axis = (0,s)

Answers are (r,0) and (0,s)

Marina babysits her neighbors' kids once a week and earns $40 each night. She loves coffee so she treats herself three times a w
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

24weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

So if she spends 5$ three times a week she spends 15$ a week

She babysits once a week for 40$

That means that she saves 25$ from babystitting each week

As she already has saved 200$, she only lacks 600$ for the purchase

600$ / (25$/week) = 24 weeks

If she stops buying coffee it will instead only take her 15 weeks to buy a new laptop

Find the probability of drawing two diamonds in a row from a standard deck of 52 cards. After the first card is drawn it is set
Rina8888 [55]

Answer: 1/17

Step-by-step explanation:

First and foremost, we should note that there are 13 diamonds in a standard deck of 52 cards.

If the first card is drawn, the probability of picking a diamond is 13/52. Since it's not replaced, when another one is picked, the probability that it will be diamond will be 12/51.

We then multiply both together. This will be:

= 13/52 × 12/51

= 1/4 × 4/17

= 1/17
