Answer:

$x=7$

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

Triangles JKL and MNP are similar by AA Similarity Theorem

Remember that

If two figures are similar then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional

$\frac{JK}{MN}=\frac{JL}{MP}$

substitute the given values

$\frac{25}{30}=\frac{20}{4x-4}$

solve for x

Simplify

$4x-4=\frac{30}{25}(20)$

$4x-4=24$

$4x=24+4$

$4x=28$

$x=7$

Find the area of the figure. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Area of the parallelogram= $10\sqrt{3} m^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a parallelogram = Length * Perpendicular height

To find the perpendicular height of the parallelogram:

Using given angle 60° in the triangle.

$sin(60)=\frac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}$

$\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}=\frac{Perpendicular}{4} \\\\Perpendicular=\frac{4\sqrt{3} }{2} \\\\Perpendicular=2\sqrt{3} m$

Area of the Parallelogram:

$=5*2\sqrt{3}\\\\ =10\sqrt{3}$

Area of the parallelogram= $10\sqrt{3} m^2$

Given that lines a and b are parallel and that m∠2 = 68°, find m∠5

Flura [38]

Answer: 112 degrees

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, we are trying to find the m<5.

Notice that <2 and <3 are vertical angles which means they are congruent.

So we know that the m<3 is 68 degrees.

Now, notice that <3 and <5 are same side interior angles because

they lie on the same side of the transversal and on interior of lines a and b.

Now, it's important to understand that

same side interior angles are supplementary.

So we can setup the equation 68 + m<5 = 180.

Subtracting 68 from both sides, we have the m<5 = 112.

So the m<5 is 112 degrees.
