Answer: x = 15, ∠K = 45.7°, ∠L = 45.7°, ∠M = 88.6°

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Since ∠K ≅ ∠L, then ΔKLM is an isoceles triangle with base KL

 KM ≅ LM

3x + 23 = 7x - 37

       23 = 4x - 37

       60 = 4x

        15 = x

KM = LM = 3x + 23

               = 3(15) + 23

               = 45 + 23

               = 68

KL = 9x - 40

    = 9(15) - 40

    = 135 - 40

    = 95

Next, draw a perpendicular bisector KN from K to KL. Thus, N is the midpoint of KL and ΔMNL is a right triangle.

  • Since N is the midpoint of KL and KL = 95, then NL = 47.5
  • Since ∠N is 90°, then NL is adjacent to ∠l and ML is the hypotenuse

Use trig to solve for ∠L (which equals ∠K):

cos ∠L = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

cos ∠L = \frac{47.5}{68}

      ∠L = cos⁻¹ (\frac{47.5}{68})

      ∠L = 45.7  

Triangle sum Theorem:

∠K + ∠L + ∠M = 180°    

45.7 + 45.7 + ∠M = 180

       91.4     + ∠M = 180

                      ∠M = 88.6

If y=5x - 3 find the value of y when X = 0
madreJ [45]
Since we know y=5x - 3 and we know that x=0 then its a matter of plugging in what we know and simplifying. y=5 x 0 - 3 we need to remember the order of operations for this problem. PEMDAS parenthesis exponent multiply divide add subtrac. Since 5 time 0 is multiplication and multiplication comes before subtracting in the oder of operations we will solve that first. 5 times 0 equals 0 since anything times 0 is 0. All that's left is to subtract 3 which gives us y=-3 <span />

Charles is 19 years old. his grandfather is 67 years older than he. what was thee total age 9 years ago?
almond37 [142]
Today: x=19
y=67+19=86

9 years ago: x=19-9=10
y=86-9=77

The total age 9 years ago: x+y=10+77=87
