Solve for x. X = ____?

1 answer:

8 0

Set up a proportion
EA / EB = ED/ EC
16 / (5x + 2 + 16) = 12 / (12 + 24)
16/(5x + 18) = 12 / 36 Cross multiply
16 * 36 = (4x + 18)*12 Remove the brackets
576 = 48x + 216 Subtract 216 from both sides.
360 = 48x Divide by 48
360/48 = x
7.5 = x

Please Help! The following is an isosceles trapezoid, find m < J

ra1l [238]

Answer:

The measure of angle J is 44°

Step-by-step explanation:

Isosceles Trapezoid

The isosceles trapezoid has its non-parallel sides of the same length, thus the angles they form with their respective parallel sides are congruent.

It means: Angle J is congruent with angle K and angle M is congruent with angle L

The sum of angles in a trapezoid is 180*(4-2)=360°

Thus:

$m\angle J+m\angle K+m \angle M+m\angle L = 360^\circ$

$7x+2+7x+2+25x-14+25x-14=360$

Joining like terms:

$64x-24=360$

Adding 24:

$64x=384$

Dividing by 64:

x=6°

Thus:

$m\angle J = 7*6+2=44^\circ$

$m\angle M = 25*6-14=136^\circ$

The measure of angle J is 44°
