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!

Answer:

It depends on what property you use

Step-by-step explanation:

If you use the distributive property then you would get 5x-30

If you factor you would get 5(x-6)

13. For the arithmetic sequence: 6, 12, 18, 24,...
serg [7]

a_15 = 90

a_n = 6n

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sequence is:

6, 12, 18, 24,...

First of all we have to find the common difference. The common difference is the difference between consecutive terms of an arithmetic sequence.

Here,

d=a_2-a_1 = 12-6 = 6\\d=a_3-a_2= 18-12 = 6

The general form for arithmetic sequence is:

a_n=a_1+(n-1)d

Putting the values for a_1 and d

a_n=6+(n-1)(6)\\a_n=6+6n-6\\a_n=6n

<u>a) Find a15</u>

a_{15} = 6(15)\\=90

<u>b) Write an equation for the nth term.</u>

The equation is: a_n=6n
