Answer: NJ = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: In triangle JKL , MN is a line segment parallel to KL intersects the other sides into two distinct points at M and N.

The basic proportionality theorem says that a line is parallel to a side of a triangle which intersects the other sides into two different points then the line divides those sides in proportion.

So by basic proportionality theorem we have :-

\frac{JM}{MK}=\frac{NJ}{LN}\\\\\Rightarrow\frac{9}{45}=\frac{NJ}{40}\\\\\Rightarrow NJ=\frac{40}{5}\\\\\Rightarrow NJ=8

Answer:

y=1/2x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula is y=mx+b.

m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.

1/2 is the slope, and 5 is the y-intercept.

y=1/2x+5.

Use the pythagorean theorem to prove that this point lies on the unit circle. Find csc(0) where 0=-120.
exis [7]

By applying Pythagorean theorem, we have proven that the point (-1/2, -√3/2) lies on the unit circle.

<h3>How to prove this point lies on the unit circle?</h3>

In Trigonometry, an angle with a magnitude of -120° is found in the third quarter and as such, both x and y would be negative. Also, we would calculate the reference angle for θ in third quarter as follows:

Reference angle = 180 - θ

Reference angle = 180 - 120

Reference angle = 60°.

For the coordinates, we have:

sin(-120) = -sin(60) = -1/2.

cos(-120) = -cos(60) = -√3/2.

By applying Pythagorean theorem, we have:

z² = x² + y²

z = √((-1/2)² + (-√3/2)²)

z = √(1/4 + 3/4)

z = √1

z = 1.
