Four ninths plus nine eighteenths :]
1 answer:
Answer: 17/18
In words, this is seventeen eighteenths
==========================================
Work Shown:
4/9 + 9/18
8/18 + 9/18 ... see note below
(8+9)/18
17/18
----------------
note: To go from 4/9 to 8/18, we multiply top and bottom by 2. So that's why 4/9 = 8/18.
The diagram below shows a visual representation of why 4/9 = 8/18.
In the top row, I've drawn out 9 rectangles of the same size. Then I've shaded 4 of the 9 rectangles to represent the fraction 4/9. In the bottom row, I've cut each of those 9 rectangles into two smaller equal pieces, so we have 9*2 = 18 rectangles now. Note how the shaded regions are the same size, so this shows 4 green regions doubles to 2*4 = 8 yellow regions; therefore 4/9 is the same as 8/18.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
KL ║ NM ,
LM = 45
m∠M = 50°
KN ⊥ NM
NL ⊥ LM
Find: KN and KL
1. Consider triangle NLM. This is a right triangle, because NL ⊥ LM. In this triangle,
LM = 45
m∠M = 50°
So,
Also
(angles LNM and M are complementary).
2. Consider triangle NKL. This is a right triangle, because KN ⊥ NM . In this triangle,
(alternate interior angles)
(angles KNL and KLN are complementary).
So,
and
