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

Both the diameter and height of a cylinder vase are 2.5 times greater than a dimilar vase. The surface area of the smaller vase
faust18 [17]

Both diameter and height are scaled by 2.5.

Area is measured in squared units ( square centimetres).

Square the scale factor:

2.5^2 = 6.25

Multiply the area of the smaller vase by the scale:

2826 x 6.25 = 17,662.5 square cm.

Solve for x: (2/5)(x-4)=2x​
NARA [144]

Simplify brackets

2/5(x - 4) = 2x

Simplify 2/5(x - 4) to 2(x - 4)/5

2(x - 4)/5 = 2x

Multiply both sides by 5

2(x - 4) = 10x

Divide both sides by 2

x - 4 = 5x

Subtract x from both sides

-4 = 5x - x

Simplify 5x - x to 4x

-4 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4

-1 = x

Switch sides

<u>x = -1</u>
