I want to talk about X's. I'll start by talking about this X - a cross (photo 1). Specifically, a cross made of two perpendicular lines - lines that meet each other at right angles all around. What's special about a cross? There's the religious significance, but in our case, there's also the <em>symmetry</em>. The quick, intuitive definition of symmetry is some quality that a thing has where, if you do something to it, it'll still look the same. Your body is symmetric; the left side of our bodies looks like we took the right side and flipped it - they're mirror images of each other.

One of the symmetries of this cross is right here. (Picture 2) It splits the cross into <em>two identical halves</em>, one a mirror image of the other. Most importantly, <em>the angles on each side of the line are identical</em>. We can draw this same mirror into our problem, too (picture 3). This symmetry tells us that those two unknown angles are exactly the same - <em>equal</em>. So, if angle MNJ is 5x+2 and angle LNK is 3(x+14), we now know that

5x + 2 = 3(x + 14), or, getting our algebra sorted:

5x + 2 = 3x + 42

2x = 40

x = 20

Now that we know x, we can find MNJ - which, because X's are symmetric, is exactly the same angle as LNK. Crunching the numbers, we find

m∠MNJ = m∠LNK = 5(20) + 2 = 100 + 2 = 102°.

Side note: the technical term for pairs of angles like MNJ and LNK is vertical angles. What we've shown here is, because of the symmetry of intersecting lines, vertical angles are always equal.

The Neolithic Revolution
Amanda [17]

The Neolithic Revolution allowed people to live in permanent settlements.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Neolithic Revolution is the phase of transition in which many of the human cultures in the world shifted their lifestyle to permanent settlement and agriculture from hunting and gathering.

This era is also named as First Agricultural Revolution or Neolithic Demographic Transition. The agricultural practices led the cultures to develop the knowledge of domestication of animals and they began to observe and experiment with the plants (to learn or know how they grow and develop).

Neolithic period is named as revolution because this period changed the way of life of most of the communities. This first occurred in so-called "Fertile Crescent" or Mesopotamia (modern Iraq).

A jet moving at constant speed traveled 6,600 km in 3 hours. What was the speed of the jet?
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

The speed of the jet is 2,200\frac{km}{h}

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed traveled by the jet can be found using the relationship between distance and time. Because the problem gives the values for distance and time, they must be replaced in the equation and in this way the requested speed will be found.

1. Write the general equation for the speed:

Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}

2. Replace the values of distance and time on the general equation for the speed and make the mathematical operations:

Speed=\frac{6,600km}{3hours}

Speed=2,200\frac{km}{h}

Therefore the speed of the jet is 2,200\frac{km}{h}
