Answer: segment MN is not parallel to segment KL.

Step-by-step explanation:

Converse of basic proportionality theorem says that if a line divides any two sides of a triangle in the same ratio, then the line must be parallel to the third side.

Given: In triangle JKL, where line segment MN is dividing JK and Jl at M and N respectively.

Now,

$\frac{JM}{MK}=\frac{9}{2}=4.5\\\\\frac{JN}{NL}=\frac{11}{3}=3.66666666667$

Thus, $\frac{JM}{MK}\neq\frac{JN}{NL}$

⇒ segment MN is not parallel to segment KL [by converse of basic proportionality theorem]

The measure of an angle is 14.2°. What is the measure of its complementary angle

grigory [225]

Complementary angles are the angles whose sum makes 90 degrees. According to the question, the other angle is 14.2 degrees more than the complementary angle. Therefore, 14.2° will be added to the other angle.
