Answer:

<h2>JL is 70 units long.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

  • K is the midpoint of JL. Where JL = 11x + 26.
  • JK = KL by midpoint definition.
  • JK = 9x - 1  by given.
  • KL = 2x + 27 by given.

Replacing each expression, we have

JK = KL

9x - 1 = 2x + 27

9x - 2x = 27 + 1

7x = 28

x = 28/7

x = 4

Replacing this value in JL expression.

JL = 11x + 26

JL = 11(4) + 26

JL = 44 + 26

JL = 70 units.

Therefore, JL is 70 units long.

Answer:

JL = 70

Step-by-step explanation:

Since K is the midpoint of JL then JK = KL and

JL = JK + KL = 9x - 1 + 2x + 27 = 11x + 26

solve for x using JK = KL

9x - 1 = 2x + 27 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

7x - 1 = 27 ( add 1 to both sides )

7x = 28 ( divide both sides by 7 )

x = 4, hence

JL = 11x + 26 = (11 × 4 ) + 26 = 44 + 26 = 70

Riko wants to find the distance between the points (−2, −3) and (2, −5). His work is shown. StartAbsoluteValue negative 3 EndAbs

Answer:

<em>Riko is wrong because she uses the wrong formula.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the coordinate points (-2, -3) and (2, -5)

We are to find the distance between the two points

Using the formula:

D = √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

From the coordinates x1 = -2, y1 = -3, x2 = 2 and y2 = -5

Substitute

D = √(2-(-2))²+(-5-(-3))²

D= √(4)²+(-2)²

D = √16 + 4

D = √20

D = √4*√5

D = 2√5

<em>This shows that Riko is wrong because she uses the wrong formula.</em>

REY [17]
To find the area of the triangle, you will need to know the length of the base and there length of the height.

You can find both of these by using the circles that are given.

If the total length of the circles is 35 cm, then each circle has a length of 7 cm. If these are circles, then each circle has a height of 7 cm also.

A = 1/2 x b x h
1/2 x (4x7) x (2x7)
A = 196 square cm
