Answer:

JK = 6.86

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters given are;

LJ = 14

JM = 48

LM = 50

$tan(\angle JML )= \dfrac{Opposite \ leg \ length}{Adjacent \ leg \ length} = \dfrac{LK}{JM} = \dfrac{14}{48} = \dfrac{7}{24}$

$tan \left( \dfrac{7}{24} \right)= 16.26 ^{\circ }$

∠JML = 16.26°

Given that ∠JML is bisected by KM, we apply the angle bisector theorem which states that a ray that bisects an interior angle of a triangle bisects the opposite (bisected angle facing side) in the proportion of the ration of the other two sides of the triangle.

From the angle bisector theorem, we have;

LM/JM = LK/JK

50/48 = LK/JK................(1)

LK + KJ = 14.....................(2)

From equation (1), we have;

LK = 25/24×JK

25/24×KJ + JK = 14

JK×(25/24 + 1) = 14

JK × 49/24 = 14

JK = 14×24/49 = 48/7. = 6.86.

JK = 6.86

Determine if the equations are parallel perpendicular or neither 10x-2y=16 and x+5y=-20

Inessa [10]

Answer:

perpendicular lines

Step-by-step explanation:

First, put both equations into slope-intercept form.

Lets start with 10x - 2y = 16

Remember that the slope intercept formula is y = mx + b

So, we must get y alone on one side.

First, subtract 10x from both sides

10x - 2y = 16

-2y = -10x + 16

Now, divide both sides by negative 2

y = 5x - 8

Now for our second equation.

First we must subtract x from both sides

x + 5y = -20

5y = -x - 20

Now, divide both sides by 5

y = -1/5x - 4

Now, both of our equations are in slope-intercept form

Here's how to determine if two equations are parallel or perpendicular

<em>Remember that the m in y = mx + b is our slope</em>

Parallel = same slope

Perpendicular = negative reciprocal slope

(ex: take the number 6 take the number -3

negative reciprocal = -1/6 negative reciprocal = 1/3)

If we look at the slopes in both of our equations, we see that there is a negative reciprocal slope (the slopes are 5 and -1/5)

So, these two lines are perpendicular. :)

Answer:−3+3=−4

2+3−=15

4−3−=19

2 3

Step 1: Pair the equations to eliminate y because the y terms are already additive inverses

−3+3=−4

2+3−=15

4−3−=19

3 =11

6 −2=34

Step 2: Write the two new equations

as a system

Step 3: Substitute the value for x and z

into one of the original equations

3 =11

3 5 +2=11
