Answer:

  • JK = 20 m

Step-by-step explanation:

  • <em>A line segment that connects two midpoints of the sides of a triangle is called a midsegment.</em>
  • <em>A triangle midsegment is parallel to the third side of the triangle and is half of the length of the third side.</em>

Point J is midpoint of side HI as HJ = JI

Point K is midpoint of side GI as GK = KI

JK is midsegment as connects the midpoints of the sides

JK = 1/2HG as per property of midsegment

  • 6x - 4 = 10x/2
  • 6x - 4 = 5x
  • 6x - 5x = 4
  • x = 4

JK = 6x - 4 = 6*4 - 4 = 24 - 4 = 20 m

Answer:

JK=20m

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given in the diagram that IJ = JH and IK = KG. Therefore, by the definition of a midpoint, we know that J and K are the midpoints of segments IH and IG respectively. Then, it can be concluded that JK is a midsegment by the definition of a midsegment. The Midsegment Theorem states that a midsegment connecting the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is parallel and half of the length of the third side. Thus, we know that JK is half of HG. Now, we can set up the following equation to solve for x:

JK = \frac{1}{2}HG\\6x-4=\frac{1}{2}(10x)

Solving for x, we get:

6x-4=\frac{1}{2}(10x)\\6x-4=5x\\x-4=0\\x=4

Therefore, JK = 6x - 4 = 6(4) - 4=24-4=20 m.

Hope this helps!

Simplify (-6)^5 how do you simplify the the exponent expression
Papessa [141]
X^m means x times itself m times

(-6)^5 means -6 time itself 5 times
simplify it says
remember that
(mn)^x=(m^x)(n^x)
undistribute the -1
(-6)^5=(-1)^5 times (6^5)
(-1)^5=-1 since it is odd power
can be simplified to
-6^5
(note, -6^5 vs (-6)^5 PEMDAS)

Simplify the function f(x)= 1/2 (27) 2x/3. Then determine the key aspects of the function
jeyben [28]
The given expression is:

f(x)= \frac{1}{2}(27)^{ \frac{2x}{3} } \\  \\ &#10;f(x)= \frac{1}{2}((27)^{ \frac{2}{3} })^{x}      \\  \\ &#10;f(x)=  \frac{1}{2}(9)^{x}

From the above equation, we can answer all the 4 questions.

a) Initial value occurs when x = 0

So,

f(0)= \frac{1}{2}(9)^{0}= \frac{1}{2}

So, the Initial value of the function is 1/2.

b) Simplified Base:
The base of an exponential function is the term which contains the exponent.
From the simplified equation, we can see that the base has been simplified and is equal to 9.

So, the simplified base is 9

c) Domain:
From the equation we can see that there is no such value which makes the function undefined. So all reall numbers are included in the Domain.

So, Domain is Set of All real numbers. 
In Interval notation this can be expressed as: (-∞,∞)

d) Range:
Range is the set of all y values that a function can take. Since the graph is not shifted vertically up or down, the range will be the set of all real numbers greater than zero.

So, Range is equal to All real numbers greater than 0.
In Interval notation, this can be expressed as (0,∞)

Benjamin started her walk from the front door of her ground floor apartment. She walked 6 meters to the corner of the building a
notsponge [240]

Answer:

<u>4 meters.</u> 

Step-by-step explanation:

Benjamin has walked two legs of a right triangle, so you can connect her two movements with a line if you were sketching the situation.. The displacement is the objects overall change in position in relation to its origin, so in your case, Benjamin's apartment. While the total distance adds up regardless of her position. 

So, the total distance Benjamin walked is 10m + 6m = 16m 

Her displacement can be found by your best friends, the Pythagorean Theorem: 10m ^2 + 6m ^2 = delta x^2 (or displacement squared).. giving you a displacement of 11.66, or 12 m.

The difference between the distance she walked and her displacement is 4 meters. 

I hope this helps. If you have any more questions, please feel free to post them and someone will be able to help you, whether it's myself or others. Please leave a like, rating, and if possible, Brainliest. Have a great day!
