Answer: Option D. 16

Solution:

If LM is a midsegment of IJK, it is joining the midpoint of the sides IJ and IK, and it's half the length of the base of the triangle (JK), then:

L is the midpoint of the side IJ, and divides it into two congruent parts:

IL=LJ

Replacing IL by 7x and LJ by 3x+4:

7x=3x+4

Solving for x: Subtracting 3x both sides of the equation:

7x-3x=3x+4-3x

Subtracting:

4x=4

Dividing both sides of the equation by 4:

4x/4=4/4

Dividing:

x=1

Then we can determine the length of LM:

LM=2x+6

Replacing x by 1 in the equation above:

LM=2(1)+6

LM=2+6

LM=8

and because LM is half the length of the base of the triangle (JK)

LM=(1/2) JK

Replacing LM by 8:

8=(1/2) JK

Multiplying both sides of the equation by 2:

2(8)=2(1/2) JK

16=(2/2) JK

16=(1) JK

16=JK

JK=16

<u>Answer:</u>

16

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We know that segment LM is the mid-segment of the triangle IJK which means ILM is half the size of IJK.

So, IL = LJ.

We know that IL = 7x and LJ = 3x+4 so putting these values equal to each to find the value of x:

7x = 3x + 4

7x - 3x = 4

x =4/4

x = 1

Now, if x = 1, then the segment LM will be:

2x + 6 = 2(1) + 6 = 8

If LM is half the length of JK, then JK is two times the length og LM.

Therefore, JK = 2 * 8 = 16.

Answer:

<T

Step-by-step explanation:

You can tell that the angles and length of the triangles are equal from the marks. For example, angle J has 2 lines on its angle so i looked for the other angle with 2 lines on it which happens to be angle S.

What is the difference between an algebraic expression and a linear expression?
Alik [6]

Step-by-step explanation:

A mathematical phrase that groups together numbers, variables, and operators, to show the value of something is called expression.

An expression is a sentence fragment that stands for a single numerical value. On the contrary, an equation is a sentence showing equality between two expressions.

An expression is a number, a variable, or a combination of numbers and variables and operation symbols. An equation is made up of two expressions connected by an equal sign.

How many whole numbers are there, whose squares and cubes have the same number of digits?
Naddik [55]

Answer:

there are only 4 whole numbers whose squares and cubes have the same number of digits.

Explanations:

let 0, 1, 2 and 4∈W (where W is a whole number), then

0^2=0, 0^3=0,

1^2=1, 1^3=1,

2^2=4, 2^3=8,

4^2=16, 4^3=64.

You can see from the above that only four whole numbers are there whose squares and cubes have the same number of digits
