Answer:
9 units
Step-by-step explanation:
By the midsegment theorem,
Since the ratio then
and
Draw two heights LE and MF. Quadrilateral ELMF is a rectangle, then EF = LM = 6 units.
Trapezoid KLMN is isosceles trapezoid (KL = MN), then KE = FN and
Consider right triangle KLE. By the Pythagorean theorem,
Answer:
{- 11, - 1 }
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the coefficient of the x² term is 1 , to complete the square
add (half the coefficient of the x-term )² to both sides
x² + 2(6)x + 36 = - 11 + 36 ← complete the square on the left side
(x + 6)² = 25 ( take the square root of both sides
= ±
x + 6 = ± 5 ( subtract 6 from both sides )
x = - 6 ± 5
x = - 6 + 5 = - 1 or x = - 6 - 5 = - 11
