K or l will be 151 degrees.

j and m are equal to each other, giving you x=1, substitute this in to get j and m equal 29 degrees.  k or L are opposite angles meaning they add up to 180 when added to j and m so j+l=180 or m+k=180

Answer:

Angle K is 151°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

JKLM is an isosceles trapezoid,

In which base angles ( either top or bottom ) are,

∠J=20x+9 and  ∠M =14x+15,

In an isosceles triangle the angles on either side of the bases are the same measure,

\implies \angle J=\angle M

⇒ 20x + 9 = 14x + 15

⇒ 20x - 14x = 15 - 9

⇒ 6x = 6

⇒ x = 1

Thus, the angles are,

⇒ ∠J = ∠M = 20 + 9 = 29°,

Let ∠K = ∠L = x,

By the property of quadrilateral,

∠J + ∠M + ∠K + ∠L = 360°

⇒ 29° + 29° + x + x = 360°

⇒ 58° + 2x = 360°

⇒ 2x = 302°

⇒ x = 151°

Hence, ∠K = 151°

I need help with Geometry
ehidna [41]

Answer:

We conclude that segment QR is the shortest.

Hence, option B is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to determine the missing angle m∠R

Given the triangle Δ∠PQR

m∠P = 48°

m∠Q = 83°

m∠R = ?

We know the sum of angles of a triangle is 180°.

m∠P+m∠Q+m∠R = 180°

48°+83°+m∠R=180°

m∠R = 180° - 48° - 83°

m∠R = 49°

Thus, the value of m∠R = 49°

We know that the longest side in a triangle is opposite the largest angle, and the shortest side is opposite the smallest angle.

Here,

m∠P = 48° is the shortest angle.

As the side QR segment is opposite the smallest angle i.e. m∠P = 48°

Therefore, we conclude that segment QR is the shortest.

Hence, option B is true.

Find the gradient of the line<br> 2y - 8x = -2
natima [27]

answer:

gradient is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

gradient is another way of saying slope

slope in the math is often used to show the speed of something

it's the m in y= mx+b

make the equation look like

y = mx + b

2y - 8x = -2

2y = 8x - 2

y= (8x-2)/2

y=4x-1

gradient is the number next to x

answer : gradient is 4
