Answer:

8 is the length of JB

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Key skills needed: Equations, Congruence</u>

1) We need to find out an equation to make based on the lengths that are given. ΔJMB is congruent to ΔKMB because of Side-Angle-Side:

  • JB is congruent to BK
  • Angle MBK would be a right angle, since it is supplementary to the right angle JBM. Since both are right angles they are congruent.
  • Both triangles have the side BM. Using the reflexive property, BM is congruent to itself, so there you go --> Side-Angle-Side

2) Now since both triangles are congruent, we can make the equation that the length of JM is congruent to the length of MK, using the fact that: If triangles are congruent, then corresponding parts are congruent.

3) This means that 16x -24 = 4x

Subtract 16x from both sides : -24 = -12x

Divide by -12 on both sides and get x = 2

4) Substitute x into the length of JB (16x-24)

16(2)-24 = 32-24 = 8

5) Therefore, the length of JB is 8

Anastasy [175]

No she is not because 1 2/5 is a bigger number than 5/7.

1 2/5 in decimal form is 1.4, and 5/7 in decimal form is .714.

Eight members of the Math club equally shared three pizzas. Expressed as a fraction,whAt part of a pizza did each member receive
Vera_Pavlovna [14]
3/8 of a pizza.

If you divide each pizza into eight parts, each member would receive 1/8 of one pizza. Since there are three pizzas, each member would receive three 1/8 of a pizza, or 3/8.

You can prove this answer by multiplying 3/8 by 8, to get 24/8 simplified to 3.

Which is longer 2 meters or 200 cent a meters or 2.05 meters
Yuri [45]
Solving this requires use of conversions

we already know that
2.05 m > 2 m

all that's left is the question
200 cm vs. 2.05 meters

I we know our equivalencies, we know that
100 cm = 1 m

if this is so then
200 cm = 2 m

we already know that
2.05 m > 2 m

so it must also be that
2.05 m > 200 cm

2.05 \: meters
