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!

No, table a is not a function. It is not a function because no x coordinates can share the same y coordinates.

How do you find the point slope form for the points (2,7) and (-1,9)?
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

y = -2/3 x + 25/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope = (y_2 - y_1) / (x_2 - x_1) = (9 - 7) / (-1 - 2) = -2/3.

Our equation needs to be in y = mx + b form.

We can plug in (2, 7) as our (x, y) and find b:

7 = -2/3 (2) + b

b = 7 + 4/3 = 25 / 3.

Therefore, our equation is y = -2/3 x + 25/3

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

We see that 500 languages is a certain percent of the 7,111 total languages. When working with percent equations, the word "is" means "equals", and "of" usually means "multiplied by" This means that 500 is equal to a certain percent multiplied by 7,111. We can use p to represent this certain percent and create an equation below.

500=7,111p

Let's flip the equation around so the p is on the left side. Variables are usually supposed to be on the left.

7,111p=500

We divide both sides by 7,111.

p=0.0703

As a percent, this is about 7.03%. Therefore, about 7.03% of the total languages spoken globally are represented on WikiTongues.

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day! :D
