Answer:

JL = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the above question that:

In triangle △JKL, ∠JKL is right angle, and KM is an altitude. JK=24 and JM=18, find JL.

From the attached diagram, we can see that

JL : JK = JK: JM

Therefore,

JL/ JK = JK /JM

Where JL = Unknown

JK = 24

JM = 18

JL/ 24 = 24/18

Cross Multiply

24 × 24 = JL × 18

Divide both sides by 18

JL = (24 × 24) /18

JL = 576/18

JL = 32

Mamont248 [21]

The probability of then drawing a jack is 4/52, also simplified to 1/13. It doesn't matter of you want to put jack or 3 first, there are 4 of each in a deck.

1/13*1/13=1/169

It is a customer appreciation week at the vans shoe outlet, Which means all customers are given a 20% discount on all items. A c
SashulF [63]

Answer:

$278.40

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: "...an additional 10% off any shoe item, once the first discount has been applied." (emphasis added).

Note that the customer is buying 3 pairs of shoes for $120 each: 120 x 3 = $360

The first discount is the 20% discount  (on every single item), the second discount is the 10% discount coupon of of any item (which signifies one item only).

Solve for the first discount:

$360 x 0.20 = $72

$360 - 72 = $288.

Next, divide $288 by 3 (to get the individual prices of the shoes:

$288/3 = $96.

The customer then uses a birthday coupon for one of the shoes, which gives an additional 10% off.

$96 x 0.10 = 9.6

$96 - 9.6 = $86.4

Remember, the other two shoes still cost $96 each. Add the price together:

$96 + $96 + $86.4 = $278.40

$278.40 will be the total.
