The question is missing the figure. So, it is in the atachment.

Answer: MN = x\sqrt{2}  LN = \frac{x}{2}.(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{6} )

Step-by-step explanation: The first figure in the attachment is the figure of the question. The second figure is a way to respond this question by tracing the altitude from M to LN as suggested. When an altitude is drawn, it forms a 90° angle with the base, as shown in the drawing. To determine the other angle, you have to remember that all internal angles of a triangle sums up to 180°.

For the triangle <u>on the left</u> of the altitude:

45+90+angle=180

angle = 45

For the triangle <u>on the right</u>:

30+90+angle=180

angle = 60

With the angles, use the Law of Sines, which is relates sides and angles, as follows:

\frac{a}{sinA} = \frac{b}{sinB} = \frac{c}{sinC}

For MN:

\frac{x}{sin(30)} = \frac{MN}{sin(45)}

MN = \frac{x.sen(45)}{sen(30)}

MN = x\sqrt{2}

For LN:

\frac{LN}{sen(105)} =\frac{x}{sin(30)}

LN = \frac{x.sin(105)}{sin(30)}

We can determine sin (105) as:

sin(105) = sin(45+60)

sin(105) = sin(45)cos(60) + cos(45)sin(60)

sin(105) = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}.\frac{1}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}.\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}

sin(105) = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{4} + \frac{\sqrt{6} }{4}

LN = \frac{x.sin(105)}{sin(30)}

LN = x.(\frac{\sqrt{2} }{4} + \frac{\sqrt{6} }{4}  ) .2

LN = \frac{x}{2}.(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{6} )

The expressions for:

MN = x\sqrt{2}

LN = \frac{x}{2}.(\sqrt{2} + \sqrt{6} )

Can some one help me graph y=4x + 5 I keep doing something wrong.
Delvig [45]

Answer:

y = - 3x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Line is passing through the points (1, 1) & (0, 4)

Slope of line = (4-1)/(0-1) = 3/(-1) = - 3

Equation of line

y = mx + b

Here m = - 3, b = 4

y = - 3x + 4

Using point (1, 1)

y - 1= - 3(x - 1)

y = - 3x +3 +1

y = - 3x + 4

The sum of the measures of two complementary angles is 90°. If one angle measures 24° more than twice the measure of the​ other,
geniusboy [140]
X + y = 90

Let's make 'x' the bigger angle and 'y' the smaller.
X is 24 more than twice y.
x = 24 + 2y

Now plug that into the x of the first equation.
(24 + 2y) + y = 90

Combine like terms.
24 + 3y = 90

Subtract 24 from both sides.
3y = 66

Divide both sides by 3.
y = 22

The measure of the smaller angle is 22°
