Answer:

$\huge \boxed{33.85}$

Step-by-step explanation:

JL is similar to NL. KL is similar to ML.

We can use ratios to solve.

JL/KL = NL/ML

Let the length of NL be x.

20/13 = x/22

Cross multiply.

13 × x = 22 × 20

13x = 440

Divide both sides by 13.

(13x)/13 =440/13

x = 440/13 = 33.846154...

Answer:

NL = 440 /13 or 33.85 (to two decimals)

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider triangles JKL and NML

angle JLK = angle NLM vertical angles

angle KJL = angle MNL given

Therefore triangles JKL and NML are similar

By proportion of corresponding sides of similar triangles,

NL / JL = LM / LK

Substitute given values

NL / 20 = 22 / 13

solve for NL

NL = 20*22 / 13 = 440 /13 or 33.85 (to two decimals)

What is an equivalent function to f(x)=(x-2)^3

atroni [7]

Answer:

x^3-6x^2-4x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

First you would multiply (x-2) by itself (x-2) to get

x^2-2x-2x+4

then you would combine like terms

x^2-4x+4

Then you would multiply that by x-2

(x^2-4x+4)(x-2)

x^3-2x^2-4x^2-8x+4x-8

then you combine like terms

x^3-6x^2-4x-8

in a class of 50 students 15 are girls.five girls and 2/7 of the boys were chosen to play a match .the total number of students

Aleks [24]

Answer:

15 students

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of boys students = No. of all students - No. of girls

no. of boys =50-15 = 35 boys

the boys that will play the match are 2/7 of boys = (2/7)x35 = 10 boys

and the girls that will play the match are 5 girls

so, no of students chosen to play = 5+10=15 students

Solve the following formula for t. F=J+Jrt

kherson [118]

First, we separate all instances of t by subtracting J from both sides:

F = J + Jrt
F - J = Jrt

Then, we separate the t by dividing both sides by Jr:

$\frac{f - j}{jr} = t$
Therefore, t is equal to (F - J) ÷ Jr

Given the following information, determine which lines are parallel and what justifies them being parallel.

weeeeeb [17]

Answers:

Blank 1 = p and r

Blank 2 = corresponding angles converse

==========================================================

Explanation:

Refer to the diagram below. I've marked lines p and r in red, and the angles 3 and 22 in blue. They are corresponding angles because they are both in the same southeast corner of their four-corner configuration.

If the corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines p and r are parallel by the aptly named corresponding angles converse
