The two labeled angles are alternate interior angles, and as such, they are the same.
From this result you can build the equation

and solve it for x: subtract 13x from both sides to get

and add 2 to both sides to get

Check: if we plug the value we found we have

So the angles are actually the same, as requested.
JK where T is the midpoint. J >>>>> T >>>>> K.
JK = 5x - 3
JT = 2x + 1
Because T is the midpoint, it means that JT = TK
So, JT + TK = JK
(2x + 1) + (2x + 1) = 5x - 3
4x + 2 = 5x - 3
4x - 5x = -3 - 2
-x = -5
x = 5
JK = 5x - 3
JK = 5(5) - 3
JK = 25 -3
JK = 22
The length of JK is 22.
Answer:
1 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
3 1/2 / 2 1/3
Answer:
12.5
Step-by-step explanation: The triangle ABC and its altitude
is represented in the figure below.
<u>Altitude</u> is a segment of line that link a vertex and the opposite side, forming a right angle.
So, because of
, now we have two similar triangles, which means that ratios of corresponding sides are equal:

(1)
This is always true for a right triangle and a altitude drawn to the hypotenuse.
Triangle BDC is also right triangle. So, we can use Pythagorean theorem to determine the missing side.

(2)
Substituting (2) into (1):

We want to find f, so:


f = 7.5
The length of
is



The length of the hypotenuse of triangle ABC is 12.5 units.
