Answer:
∠BKM= ∠ABK
Therefore AB ║KM (∵ ∠BKM= ∠ABK and lies between AB and KM and BK is the transversal line)
m∠MBK ≅ m∠BKM (Angles opposite to equal side of ΔBMK are equal)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: BK is an angle bisector of Δ ABC. and line KM intersect BC such that, BM = MK
TO prove: KM ║AB
Now, As given in figure 1,
In Δ ABC, ∠ABK = ∠KBC (∵ BK is angle bisector)
Now in Δ BMK, ∠MBK = ∠BKM (∵ BM = MK and angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal.)
Now ∵ ∠MBK = ∠BKM
and ∠ABK = ∠KBM
∴ ∠BKM= ∠ABK
Therefore AB ║KM (∵ ∠BKM= ∠ABK and BK is the transversal line)
Hence proved.
To solve for x, we will begin by using the distributive property
6x - 2(x + 4) = 12
6x - 2x - 8 = 12
(always remember to sort your negatives!)
Add like terms
4x - 8 = 12
Add 8 to both sides
4x = 20
Divide both sides by 4
x = 5
It’s an isosceles triangle so it’s 4
