Okay, so the angle of K is 45° (180 - 135).
Draw a line that goes straight down from angle L and let's say that point is point Z. You can see that this triangle can be separated into two special triangles: the 45 45 90 triangle on the left (ΔLKZ) and the 30 60 90 triangle (ΔLMZ) on the right.
I don't know if you've learned this yet (just google them if you're confused): - for a 45 45 90 triangle the sides are x, x, and x√2. - for a 30 60 90 triangle the sides are x, 2x, and x√3.
Since we know that LM is 20√3, using the 30 60 90 trick, you can see that LZ is 10√3 and MZ is 30.
Next, since LZ is 10 sqrt(3), using the 45 45 90 trick, <em>KL is 10√6</em> and KZ is 10 sqrt(3). Therefore, KM = KZ + MZ = <em>10√3 + 30</em>
<u>The answer: KL is 10√6, KM is 10√3 + 30</u>

Answer:
5 years
Step-by-step explanation:
1. if able's age is x, then his sister's is x-4, and his brother's is 2x
2. if these sum to 32, then we can formulate the equation x+(x-4)+2x=32
3. now solve for x, 4x-4=32, 4x=36, x=9
4. if able's sister is x-4 years old, she is 9-4, or 5 years old
Y=3x-10 and 3x+2y=16
y=3x-10
subsitute 3x-10 for y in other equation
3x+2y=16
3x+2(3x-10)=16
distribute
3x+6x-20=16
9x-20=16
add 20 both sides
9x=36
divide both sides by 9
x=4
sub back
y=3x-10
y=3(4)-10
y=12-10
y=2
x=4
y=2
(4,2) is soluiton
