The base angles of an isosceles trapezoid are equal. Therefore:
20x + 9 = 14x + 15
6x = 6
x = 1
So, the base angles both equal 29 degrees.
In a trapezoid, the sum of the angles attached to the same leg always = 180 degrees.
Therefore, angle K and angle L equal 151 degrees.

Your friend is trying to calculate the height of a nearby oak tree. You tell him that you learned how to use similar triangles i
elena-s [515]

Answer:

59.38 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The person and his shadow form a triangle. The tree and its shadow also form a triangle. The triangles are similar triangles, so the lengths of corresponding sides are proportional.

Let the unknown tree height be h.

(person's height)/(person's shadow) = (tree height)/(tree's shadow)

(75 in.)/(48 in.) = h/(38 ft)

(25)/(16) = h/(38 ft)

16h = 25 * 38 ft

16h = 950 ft

h = 59.375 ft

h = 59.38 ft

4y = 42 - 3y<br><br> Can you help me find y?
Lesechka [4]
4y = 42 - 3y

First, add '3y' to both of the sides.
4y + 3y = 42
Second, add '4y + 3y' to get '7y'.
7y = 42
Third, divide both sides by '7'.
y =  \frac{42}{7}
Fourth, how many times does 7 go into 42? 42 ÷ 7 = '6'.
y = 6

Answer: y = 6

Tell whether the statement is true or false. If w is 25% of Z, then Z:W is 75:25
melamori03 [73]
False.
If w is 25% of z, then w:z would be 25:100, because 25 is 25% of 100.
If Z:W was 75:25, it would be wrong because 25 is 33% of 75, not 25%.
