Answer:

The measure of angle J is 44°

Step-by-step explanation:

Isosceles Trapezoid

The isosceles trapezoid has its non-parallel sides of the same length, thus the angles they form with their respective parallel sides are congruent.

It means: Angle J is congruent with angle K and angle M is congruent with angle L

The sum of angles in a trapezoid is 180*(4-2)=360°

Thus:

$m\angle J+m\angle K+m \angle M+m\angle L = 360^\circ$

$7x+2+7x+2+25x-14+25x-14=360$

Joining like terms:

$64x-24=360$

Adding 24:

$64x=384$

Dividing by 64:

x=6°

Thus:

$m\angle J = 7*6+2=44^\circ$

$m\angle M = 25*6-14=136^\circ$

The measure of angle J is 44°

What is the area of the poster board that she has left

steposvetlana [31]

Find the area of the parallelogram, find the area of the triangle, then subtract the triangle's area from the area of the parallelogram.

Area of Parallelogram:
A= base * height
A= 20 in * 10 in
A= 200 in^2

Area of Triangle:
A= 1/2 base * height
A= 1/2 (10 in)(9 in)
A= 1/2 (90)
A= 45 in ^2

Area of Poster Left:
subtract the difference
A= Parallelogram Area - Triangle Area
A= 200 in^2 - 45 in^2
A= 155 in^2

ANSWER: 155 in^2 is the area of the poster board she has left.

Hope this helps! :)

Find the slope of the line that contains (6,-4) and (-4,-4)

frez [133]

Answer:y = -4

Step-by-step explanation: In order to find the slope by these two points, (6,-4), and (-4,-4), you must use the slope formula:

rise/run, which is this case, is y2-y1 / x2 - x1 <--- this is the slope formula

Let 6 be x2, -4 be x1, y2 be -4, and y1 being -4, plug these numbers in.

-4-(-4) / 6- (-4)

-4 + 4/ 6 +4

0/10 The slope of the line is zero, with a y-axis at -4. We know this because there is a zero in the final result and the y- coordinate between (6,-4) and (-4,-4) do not change in the slightest.

The final answer is then y = -4
