Answer:
32 and 40
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's call the smaller number x. If the smaller number is x, the equation for this problem is 2x + 8 = 72
Equation:
2x + 8 = 72
2x = 64
x = 32
So now we know the smaller number is 32, so now add 8 and we get 40.
Therefore the 2 numbers are 32 and 40
Answer:
The Length of <em>JK</em> is 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Because <<em>J </em>is congruent to <<em>L</em> we know that the triangle in question must be isosceles as in an isosceles triangle two angles opposite of each other are equal. (This is also true for equilateral triangles, however, in an equilateral triangle all sides must be congruent, so we can rule equilateral out as <em>LJ </em>is not congruent to <em>KL.) </em>This means that the triangle must be isosceles.
In an isosceles triangle the side opposite each other are congruent, and the angles opposite each other are congruent when split down the line of symmetry.
Therefor, the length of <em>JK </em>must be congruent to the length of <em>KL. </em>In other words if <em>JK </em>= 10, then <em>KL </em>must equal 10 as well.
