Answer:
LM = 33 units

Explanation:
From the drawing:
LM = NP
41 - 2x = 7x + 5
41 - 5 = 7x + 2x
36 = 9x
x = 9

This means that:
LM = 41 - 2x
LM = 41 - 2(4)
LM = 33 units

Hope this helps :)

The area of a rectangle is 20 square inches. If the length is 4 inches less than 6 times the width, then find the dimensions of

Tpy6a [65]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width=x

Length =6x-4

As we know that in a rectangle

${\boxed{\sf Area=LB}}$

Substitute the values

$\hookrightarrow\sf x (6x-4)=20$

$\hookrightarrow\sf 6x^2-4x=20$

$\hookrightarrow\sf 6x^2-4x-20=0$

Here a=6, b=-4, c=-20.
use quadratic formula

$\hookrightarrow\sf x=\dfrac {1}{3}+\dfrac {1}{3}\sqrt {31} \quad or \quad \dfrac {1}{3}+\dfrac {-1}{3}\sqrt {31}$

In the diagram, GB = 2x + 3..

zaharov [31]

<u>Answer-</u>

$\boxed{\boxed{GB=15\ units}}$

<u>Solution-</u>

From the attachment,

AD = AE, so FA is a median.

BD = BF, so BE is a median.

CF = CE, so DC is a median.

And G is the centroid.

From the properties of centroid, we know that

The centroid divides each median in a ratio of 2:1

So,

$\Rightarrow FG:AG=2:1$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{FG}{AG}=\dfrac{2}{1}$

$\Rightarrow FG=2\times AG$

$\Rightarrow 5x=2\times (x+9)$

$\Rightarrow 5x=2x+18$

$\Rightarrow 3x=18$

$\Rightarrow x=6$

So, GB will be $2(6)+3=15$ units
