Answer:

The expression represents JL is<u> 3x - 2</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

JM = 5x – 8 and LM = 2x – 6.

Now, to find expression represents JL.

JM = JL + LM

<em>Subtracting both sides by LM we get:</em>

JM - LM = JL.

JL = JM - LM

Now, putting the expression to get JL:

$JL=5x-8-(2x-6)$

$JL=5x-8-2x+6$

$JL=3x-2.$

Therefore, the expression represents JL is 3x - 2.

What is the height of an equilateral triangle with side lengths of 15? round to tenths?

Vinil7 [7]

If this is an equilateral triangle, we need half of it to find the height which is a leg of a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 15. That means that the base of this half triangle is 7.5. Use Pythagorean's Theorem to fine the height. $x^{2} =(15) ^{2} -(7.5) ^{2}$ . x = 12.99 or 13
