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

Factor the expression completely -20x -40
Alenkasestr [34]
X=2
 

its x=2 because you have to divide -20x by -40 so the two negatives cancel out each other and then you get 2.

Help me answer this thanks
Doss [256]

Answer:

c = 15 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

This is solveable using the Pythagorean Theorem,

let's say a = 9 and b = 12,

a^2 + b^2 = c^2, so

9^2 + 12^2 = 225 then,

sqrt(225) = 15, so c = 15 m
