The triangles are similar. If KL = 5, JL = 6, and PM = 9, find PN. Round to the nearest tenth.

1 answer:

6 0

If the triangles are similar, then the corresponding ratio of their sides have equal ratios. Through ratio and proportion, we would determine the answer.

5/6 = x/9, where x is the length for side PN

Transposing the equation so that x is on the left side:

x = (5/6)*9
x = 7.5

Solve for x and y: x+y=5 x−y=a

9966 [12]

Answer:

x=5/2 + a/2, y= 5/2 - a/2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this system using addition of the equations

x+y=5

2x =(5+a)

x=(5+a)/2= 5/2 +a/2

x=5/2 +a/2

x-y=a

y = x - a , x=5/2 + a/2

y= 5/2 + a/2-a

y= 5/2 - a/2
