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

Need Help! Geometry Circles!

6. The lengths of two tangent lines to a circle are equal, which can be proved using similar triangles. The perimeter is 2*(3+2+5)=10.
14. c=40 degrees, since c and the given 40 angle correspond to the same arc on the circle. b=40, since b and the given angle are alternate interior angles of two parallel lines. d=180-40-40=100 degrees. a=180-d=180-100=80 degrees.
18. a is two times the given angle according to the inscribed angle theorem. a=2*20=40. b=180-a=140. c=90 since the tangent line is perpendicular to the diameter of the circle.
19. b=85, a=95. Connect the two points on the circle near 45 degrees on the diagram. b is the sum of the two angles formed (b is the exterior angle of the small triangle), and the sum is half the central angles they correspond to, which is 360-145-45=170. So b=170/2=85, and a=180-85=95 degrees.
20. Use power of a triangle. 5*(10+5)=6(6+x), x=6.5.

3. When 25 is added to 7 times a number, the result is 81. Find the number.
Dominik [7]

Answer:

3. 2.5

4. $5 per candy bar

5. You mowed 6 lawns

6. 15.66 is the number

7. 13 weeks

8. 135 students came

9. 12

Step-by-step explanation:

3. 25+7= 32.

81/32= 2.5

4. 23-3= 20

20/4= 5

5. 155-35=120

120/20=6

6. 10-4 = 6

94/6=15.66

(not 100% sure about this one)

7. 200-161=39

39/3=13

8. 975-300=675

675/5=135

9. 36-12=24

36/3= 12

(not 100% sure about this one)

Bonus: Sorry I don't know

I hope I can help! Also next time do each question one by one so other people can answer and not answer all of them if they don't know one.
