Answer:

Length of KS = 25 units and

Length of KP = 17 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: KPST is a trapezoid, KP =ST, MN is a mid segment, h is the height =15

Also it is given that, MN = 20 , h = 15 and PS:KT = 3:7.

  • If two sides of the trapezoid are equal then, it is an isosceles trapezoid.
  • Mid-segment of a trapezoid is a line segment which connects the midpoints of the non-parallel sides.
  • A trapezoid mid segment connects the midpoints of two congruent sides of the trapezoid and is parallel to the pair of parallel sides.
  • Length of the mid segment is the sum of two bases divide by 2

Since, the length of Mid-segment MN = 20.

Also, it is given: PS:KT = 3:7

Let  PS = 3x and KT = 7x respectively.

then;

\frac{PS+KT}{2} = 20

\frac{3x+7x}{2} = 20

\frac{10x}{2} =20

On Simplify, we get;

5x =20

Divide both sides by 5 we get;

x =4

Then:

Length of base PS = 3x = 3(4) = 12 and Length of base KT = 7x = 7(4) = 28.

Now, In triangle PLK

Using Pythagoras theorem to find KP;

It is given here, PL =h =15 and KL= 8 {you can see in the figure as shown below};

KP^2= PL^2 + KL^2

KP^2 = 15^2+8^2 =225 +64 = 289

KP = \sqrt{289}

Simplify:

KP = 17

therefore, the length KP = 17 units

To, construct a line: Join K and S

Now, in triangle KRS

KR = KL +LR = 8 +12 =20 and SR = h= 15

Using Pythagoras theorem in KRS to find KS;

KS^2 = SR^2+KR^2

KS^2 = 15^2 + 20^2 = 225 + 400 = 625

KS = \sqrt{625}

On simplify:

KS = 25

Therefore, the length of KS is, 25 units.

The ratio between the square of a number and it's cube is 1:3 what is the number ​
Dimas [21]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Call that number “x”

The square of that number is x^2

Also as the cube is x^3

The ratio between these 2 values is 1:3, this means x^2 / x^3 = 1 / 3

<==> 1 / x = 1 / 3 (eliminate “x^2” for numerator and denominator of the fraction x^2 / x^3 )

<==> x = 1 * 3 / 1 = 3

So, that number is 3 ! This math problem seems simple ;)

What type of Symmetry
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

Line Symmetry, Horizontal and Vertical Lines, 90 and 180 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

It is line symmetry because you can fold the H, and it would overlap perfectly.

Horizontal and vertical lines because if you were to place a line in the middle both horizontally and vertically it would overlap.

90 and 180 degrees because the H would still have have symmetry if you flipped it on its side or upside down.

Solve the system of linear equations. 2x + 6y = -3 2x + 6y = 0 Ο Α (0, 2) infinitely many solutions C (9,7) no solution​
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-3 = 2x+6y

2x+6y = 0

By transitivity, -3 = 0, a contradiction. No solution.

If you graph the lines, you will see they are parallel, therefore never intersect.

It takes 12 people 15 hours to complete and certain job.how many hours would it take 18 people, working at the same rate to comp
pochemuha

Answer:

2 Hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Required man hours to complete the full job = 12 *15

                                                                           =180 Man hours

Required man hours to complete the 2/5 of the job = 180/5

                                                                                      = 36 Man hours

if 18 peoples are working,

required hours to complete the 2/5 of the job = 36 /18

                                                                            = 2 hours
