#7) M is the Midpoint of JK. Since there is no segment through M, then there is no segment bisector.

JM = 7x + 5, MK = 8x (Given)

JM ≡ MK (definition of midpoint)

JM = MK (definition of congruency)

7x + 5 = 8x (substitution)

5 = x (subtraction property of equality)

JM = 7x + 5 → JM = 7(5) + 5 → JM = 35 + 5 → JM = 40

#8) M is the Midpoint of JK. the line passing through M is line <em>l</em>, so line <em>l</em> is the segment bisector.

JM = 3x + 15, MK = 8x + 25 (Given)

JM ≡ MK (definition of midpoint)

JM = MK (definition of congruency)

3x + 15 = 8x + 25 (substitution)

15 = 5x + 25 (subtraction property of equality - subtracted 3x)

-10 = 5x (subtraction property of equality - subtracted 25)

-2 = x (division property of equality)

JM = 3x + 15 → JM = 3(-2) + 15 → JM = -6 + 15 → JM = 9

A kite has a height of 36 inches and a width of 30 inches. Explain how to use the area formula for a triangle to find the area o

mote1985 [20]

Height of the kite is = 36 inches.

Width of the kite is = 30 inches

One of the ways to find the area is to draw a vertical line to break the kite into two equal triangles. Mark the base as 36 inches and height as 15 inches .

Now we will use the formula $area=\frac{1}{2}*base*height$ to find the area of each triangle. Then we will add both the areas to find the area of the kite.
