Answer:

JK = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

JK = 2x

IJ = 5x

IK = x + 6

Required

Solve for JK.

Since J is on IK, we have:

IK = IJ + JK

x + 6 = 5x + 2x

x + 6 = 7x

Collect Like Terms

7x - x = 6

6x = 6

Solve for x

x = 6/6

x = 1

Substitute 1 for x in JK = 2x

JK = 2 * 1

JK = 2

1. If one side of the square is 12in, what is the perimeter and area of the parallelogram?
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

Not sure for 1. Area might be 144. Perimeter might be 50. I got perimeter by finding slant height of the parallelogram and then substituting it to the perimeter formula (P=2(a+b) where a is a side and b is a base). I found area by just multiplying 12*12 since to find area of parallelogram, it is base x height.

2. 45, 135, 135

Step-by-step explanation:

2. We know that an isosceles trapezoid has congruent base angles and congruent upper angles, so if one base angle measures 45 degrees, the other base angle will also be 45 degrees.

For the upper angles, we know that diagonal angles are supplementary, so 180- base angle 1 (45 degrees)= upper angle 1

180-45=upper angle 1

upper angle 1 = 135 degrees

Mentioned above, upper angles are congruent, so upper angles 1 and 2 will be 135 degrees.

Check: The sum of angles in a quadrilateral is equal to 360 degrees. We can use this to check if our answer is correct.

135+135=270 degrees (sum of upper angles)

45+45= 90 degrees (sum of base angles)

270+90=360

So the angle measures of the other three angles are 135, 135, and 45.

Hope this helps!

 A barrel contains 56 litres of kerosene. It has two taps. One tap draws 500 ml every 6 minutes. After first 5 litres are drawn
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

The tank will empty in 4 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a barrel contains 56 liters of kerosene, and it has two taps, one tap that draws 500 ml every 6 minutes and after first 5 liters are drawn from the barrel, the second tap also starts, and it draws 1 liter in every 5 minutes, to determine how many hours will be taken in all to empty the tank, the following calculation must be performed:

0.5 x X = 5

X = 5 / 0.5

X = 10

10 x 6 = 60

1 hour = 51 liters

1 hour 30 minutes = 51 - (1 x 6) - (0.5 x 5) = 42.5

2 hours = 42.5 - (1 x 6) - (0.5 x 5) = 34

2 hours 30 minutes = 34 - (1 x 6) - (0.5 x 5) = 25.5

3 hours = 25.5 - (1 x 6) - (0.5 x 5) = 17

3 hours 30 minutes = 17 - (1 x 6) - (0.5 x 5) = 8.5

4 hours = 8.5 - (1 x 6) - (0.5 x 5) = 0

Therefore, the tank will empty in 4 hours.

Unknown angle problems with algebra <br> Solve x in the diagram below
Alina [70]

Answer:

35

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright this is like a linear pair. All three angles add up to 180; so this is the set up:

40 + 2x + 30 + 40 = 180

2x + 110 = 180

2x = 70

x=35
