<span>A midsegment connecting two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and is half as long.

</span>ML= \frac{1}{2}KJ \ \ \to \ \  KJ = 2ML = 2*12 = 24<span>

So what we're dealing with here is a similar triangle situation. Since ML is a midsegment, that means that IL and LJ are congruent. So, IL=LJ=13. This means that the whole side IJ is 26 (13+13=26). We also know that triangle IML and triangle IKJ are similar triangles, so their sides are proportional. This means that we can set up the ratio:
12/13 = x/26
and solve for x.
After multiplying 26 to both sides of the equation, we find that x=24, so KJ=24.

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the given
Mrac [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

is the given line  3x - 4y = -17?

then,

- 4y = -3x -17

y=(3/4)x+17/4

it is parallel, so slope of our line is 3/4 or 0.75

y=0.75x+b

next, lets plug in the given point to get the y-int

2=0.75*(-3)+b

2=-2.25+b

b-2.25=2

b=4.25

the equation is y=0.75x+4.25

does this clear anything, or am I off topic? please tell me I will help you

Triangle Abc has vertices A(-2,5),B(1,0),andC(6,-2).what are the coordinates of the vertices of A’B’C for Ry-axis?
Andreyy89

Answer:

A'(2,5),B'(-1,0),C'(-6,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The rule of the reflection of a point across the y-axis is equal to

(x,y) -----> (-x,y)

so

Applying the rule of the reflection across the y-axis

A(-2,5) ----> A'(2,5)

B(1,0) -----> B'(-1,0)

C(6,-2) ---> C'(-6,-2)
