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.

Please help i need the answer and how you did it
Arturiano [62]
1. First, do 12 x 8 to work out the area of the rectangle, which is 96ft.
Then, to work out the area of a circle, you use the equation πr² to help you. You would multiply π by the radius², which is 16. Now you have just worked out the area of a circle, but not a semicircle, so you would have to divide your answer by two to get the area of this, which would be 25.13 (rounded to 2 d.p).
To get the area of the whole shape, you just have to add the two totals together.
25.13 + 96 = 121.13ft.
Remember to put the units there, or you can lose marks.

Try your best with the next questions! I have written the formulas for the other shapes to help you work out the answers.

Area of a square = Multiply sides together.
Area of rectangle = Multiply width by length.
Area of a circle = Multiply π by the radius².
Area of a semicircle = Multiply π by the radius², and the divide by two.
Area of a triangle = Multiply the base by the height, and then divide by two.

Really hope this helps!
