5 gallons x gallons
------------- = ----------------
12 hours 240 hours
using cross products
5 * 240 = 12 * x
1200 = 12 x
divide each side by 12
1200/12 = 12x/12
100 =x
You will need 100 gallons

m∠J and m∠Kare base angles of an isosceles trapezoid JKLM.
If m∠J = 18x + 8, and m∠M = 11x + 15 , find m∠K.
A. 1
B. 154
C. 77
D. 26
Answer: B. m∠K = 154
Step-by-step explanation: <u>Isosceles</u> <u>trapezoid</u> is a parallelogram with two parallel sides, called Base, and two non-parallel sides that have the same measure.
Related to internal angles, angles of the base are equal and opposite angles are supplementary.
In trapezoid JKLM, m∠J and m∠M are base angles, so they are equal:
18x + 8 = 11x + 15
7x = 7
x = 1
Now, m∠K is opposite so, they are supplementary, which means their sum results in 180°:
m∠J = 18(1) + 8
m∠J = 26
m∠K + m∠J = 180
m∠K + 26 = 180
m∠K = 154
The angle m∠K is 154°
Answer:
?
Step-by-step explanation:
?
In a parallelogram, opposite angles are congruent.
Since angles z and 124° are opposite angles in the parallelogram, they are congruent angles.
Therefore we have:
