Answer:
m∠JKP = 31.5°
Step-by-step explanation:
Incenter of a triangle is the point where all the bisectors of interior angles intersect each other.
JN is the angle bisector of ∠KJL.
Therefore, m∠KJN = m∠LJN
(7x - 6) = (5x + 4)
7x - 5x = 6 + 4
2x = 10
x = 5
m∠KJN = (7x - 6)
= 7(5) - 6
= 35 - 6
= 29°
In ΔKJN,
m∠JKN + m∠KNJ + m∠NJK = 180°
m∠JKN + 90° + 29° = 180°
m∠JKN = 180°- 119° = 61°
Since KO is the angle bisector of ∠JKN,
m∠JKP =
=
= 30.5°
The answer is 19.4
Most of the time when you try to find a missing length of a right triangle you use Pythagorean theorem. Pythagorean theorem is A squared plus B squared equals C squared. C squared is always going to be the longest length/diagonal line otherwise known as your hypotenuse. In this case the ladder is the hypotenuse. So instead of adding five squared +20 squared you’re going to square 20 and then subtract five squared to get the missing length which would be B squared and then you have to find the square root of B squared. So 20 squared is 4000. 5squared is 25 400-25 = 375 square root of 375 is about 19.4.
