Refer to attached annotated figure below.


Step 1: prove triangle ABD is similar to triangle BCD

1. ∠ ADB = ∠ BDC (given)

2. ∠ BAD = 90-y; ∠ DBC= 90-y, => ∠ BAD is congruent to ∠ CBD.

=> triangle ABD is similar to triangle BCD [AA]


Step 2: find length of AD

Using Pythagoras theorem, AD^2=AB^2-BD^2 = 5^2-4^2=9

=> AD=3


Step 3: use the property that corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional: BC/BD = AB/AD

substitute values

AB=5, AD=3, BD=4, BC=x

x/4=5/3

solve for x

x=5*4/3=20/3

or x=6.67 (to 2 decimal places)

What is angle LKM? I need help right away please!!
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

Angle LKM is 110

Step-by-step explanation:

Since all the angles in a triangle equal 180, and 60 is one angle you can see its an equilaterial triangle.

so x=60

Then 3(60)-70=110

So LKM=110

Jack and Jane are married and both work. However, due to their responsibilities at home, they have decided that they do not want
Zanzabum
To solve a system of inequalities we graph both of them.
The inequality representing their combined pay would be
12.50x+10.00y \geq 750.  This is because Jane makes 12.50/hr, Jack makes 10.00/hr, and they want to make at least, so greater than or equal to, $750 combined.
The inequality representing their combined hours working would be
x+y \leq 65, since they do not want their combined hours to be over 65.  In both of these inequalities, <em>x</em> represents the number of hours Jane works and <em>y</em> represent the number of hours Jack works.
To graph these, we solve both of them for <em>y</em>:
x+y \leq 65&#10;\\ x+y-x \leq 65-x&#10;\\ y \leq 65-x
12.50x+10.00y \geq750&#10;\\12.50x+10.00y-12.50x \geq 750-12.50x&#10;\\10.00y \geq 750-12.50x&#10;\\ \frac{10.00y}{10.00} \geq \frac{750}{10.00} - \frac{12.50x}{10.00}&#10;\\y \geq 75-1.25x
The attached screenshot shows what the graph looks like.  Going to the point where they intersect, we see that the shaded region that satisfies both inequalities begins when Jane works 40 hours and Jack works 25.
