Total length of the string = yard
Length of string used for craft = of total length of string
= of
=
= yard
Length of the string left after use = Total length of the string - Length of string used for craft
Length of the string left after use =
=
Reducing it to the lowest term, we get
= yard
Therefore, the length of string left is yard.
Answer: The length of JF = 16 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: In triangle DEF, segment DJ is a perpendicular bisector of side EF.
i.e. DJ is perpendicular to EF and DJ divides EF into two equal parts EJ and JF. [The perpendicular bisector is a line that is perpendicular to a line segment and splits it into two congruent segments.]
If EJ is 3y-8 and JF is 7y-40.
Then,
JF= 7(8)-40 =56-40= 16 units
Hence, the length of JF = 16 units.
