Answer:

KI=11.25 and HI=6.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the below figure attached with this question.

According to Pythagoras Theorem:

base^2+perpendicular^2=hypotenuse^2

Use Pythagoras in triangle HKL

LH^2+KH^2=LK^2

(LH)^2+9^2=15^2

(LH)^2+81=225

(LH)^2=144

Taking square root on both sides.

LH=12

Let length of HI be x.

LI = 12+x

Use Pythagoras theorem in ΔKLI,

(KI)^2+15^2=(12+x)^2

(KI)^2+225=x^2+24x+144

(KI)^2=x^2+24x+144-225

(KI)^2=x^2+24x-81...(1)

Use Pythagoras theorem in ΔHKI,

(KI)^2=x^2+9^2

(KI)^2=x^2+81...(2)

From (1) and (2) we get

x^2+81=x^2+24x-81

24x=162

x=\dfrac{162}{24}=6.75

Hence, the measure of HI is 6.75 units.

Substitute x=6.75 in equation (2).

(KI)^2=(6.75)^2+81

(KI)^2=126.5625

Taking square root on both sides.

KI=\sqrt{126.5625}

KI=11.25

Hence, the measure of KI is 11.25 units.

1 - 3x = 3x + 1 solve for x
lakkis [162]

Answer: x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

1 - 3x = 3x + 1

then add 3x on both sides

1 = 6x + 1

then subtract 1 on both sides

0 = 6x

then divide by 6 on both sides

0 = x

so x = 0
