Answer:

A.  x = 5 (Equation below)

B. AC = 9 | BD = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Since we know the diagonals of an isosceles trapezoid are congruent, we know that the two bottom parts of the diagonal BD (2x - 8 and x - 4) are congruent to the diagonal AC (x + 2) . This means you can just equal them together and get the value of x:

2x - 8 + x - 4 = x + 2

3x - 12 = x + 2

3x = x + 14

2x = 14

x = 7

B. Just plug in 5 for x:

AC = x + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9

BD = 2x - 8 + x -4 = 3x - 12 = 21 - 12 = 9

The fraction 5/10 is the same as 50/100 because they are equivalent. It will take 10 group of 10 to get to the denominator 100, so it will take 10 groups of 5 in the numerator to make it equal.

The answer is 50/100.

Point K is on line JL. given JL =4x, JK= 2x+3, and KL=x, determine the numerical length of kl​
balandron [24]

Hi! I'm happy to help!

Our total line is JL (4x), and it is split into two parts: JK, and KL. We have our values, and we know that JK+KL=JL, so we can substitute our values and solve for x:

4x=(2x+3)+(x)

4x=3x+3

To solve for x, we have to isolate it on one side of the equation.

First, let's subtract 3x from both sides so that we can isolate x:

4x=3x+3

-3x -3x

x=3

<u>So, our x=3, which means that KL=3.</u>

I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :D

Problem page the sum of two numbers is 47 . the larger number is 17 more than the smaller number. what are the numbers?
user100 [1]
Smaller number = X
Larger Number = X + 17

47 = X + (X+17)
47 = 2x + 17
47 - 17 = 2x
30 = 2x
X = 15
