Answer:
The length of BC is 17
Step-by-step explanation:
When we construct a triangle with the data, we will end up a isosceles triangle.
In a isosceles triangle , we know that tow angles and two sides are equal
The questions states that

Then sides AC and AB are also equal
On equation their values
2X - 8 = X+9
2X = X + 9 +8
2X = X + 17
2X - X = 17
X = 17
The length of BC = X = 17
1 mile = 1760 yards
5280 yards = 5280 / 1760 = 3 miles
Answer:
12 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 inch per 2 miles
3 inches away
3 ÷ 1/2 = 6
6 * 2 = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
y= 5
x=3

Answer:
JM = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Because MN║JL,

= 
2(5) = 1(2x + 4)
10 = 2x + 4
2x = 6
x = 3
JM = 2x + 4 = 2(3) + 4 = 6 + 4 = 10
