How does your figure look like?
Answer:
KL = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
JK + KL = JL
2x – 2 + x – 9 = 2x + 8
Combine like terms
3x -11 = 2x+8
Subtract 2x from each side
3x-2x -11 = 2x+8-2x
x-11 = 8
Add 11 to each side
x-11+11 = 8+11
x = 19
KL = x – 9
= 19-9
= 10

Remark
I think you want us to do both 3 and 4
Three
QR is 4 points going left from the y axis + 2 points going right from the y axis.
QR = 6 units long.
RT is 4 units above the x axis and 3 units below the x axis
RT = 7 units long
TS = 3 units. For this one you just go from T to S. The graph really helps you. You just need to count.
Problem 4
You need to find the area of the combined figure. You could do it as a trapezoid, which might be the easiest way. I'll do that first.
Area = (b1 + b2)*h/2
Givens
B1 = QR = 6
B2 = UT + TS = 6 + 3 = 9
h = RT = 7
Area
Area = (6 + 9)*7/2
Area = 15 * 7 / 2
Area = 52.5
Comment
You could break this up into a rectangle + a triangle
Find the area of QRTU and add the Area of triangle RTS
<em>Area of the rectangle </em>= L * W
L = RT = 7
W = QR = 6
Area = 7 *6 = 42
<em>Area of the triangle</em> = 1/2 * B * H
B = TS = 3
H = RT =7
Area = 1/2 * 3 * 7
Area = 1/2 * 21
Area = 10.5
Total Area = 42 + 10.5 = 52.5 Both answers agree.
D,
Symmetry is when you split the shape, but they look the same.
