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

Consider the following equations and name the property of equality used to solve for the variable.
Viktor [21]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  A. subtraction

  B. division

  C. multiplication

  D. addition

Step-by-step explanation:

Observe what is done to the variable. Choose the operation that turns the unwanted value into the appropriate identity element.

A. 3.75 is added. To make that value be 0, we subtract 3.75.

B. -3 is multiplied. To make that value be 1, we divide by -3.

C. m is divided by 5. To make that 1/5 multiplier be 1, we multiply by 5.

D. 4 is subtracted. To make that value be zero, we add 4.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Since subtraction is the same as addition of the opposite, and division is the same as multiplication by the reciprocal, the only two properties we really need are the <em>addition property</em> and <em>multiplication property</em>. Your grader may disagree.
