Answer:
y=25.5
Step-by-step explanation:
To find y, you need to get it by itself. Ask yourself, what is being done to y, then to undo that, do the opposite. For example, if 3 was added to y, you would need to subtract 3 to cancel out the 3. In this case, what is being done to y? It's being divided by 3. So, you multiply by 3 to cancel that out. Whatever you do to one side of an equation, you also have to do to the other. So,
8.5=
Multiply both sides by 3
3(8.5) = 3() multiply on the left side, and on the right side the 3s cancel out
25.5=y

Answer:
The area is 432cm squared.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the area, first you split the figure into 2 rectangles.
The rectangle facing up would be 8cm by 30cm, and the rectangle pointing to the left would be 8cm by 24cm (because you subtract 8 by 32). Next, with those numbers, you can easily find the area. 8cm x 30cm equals to 240cm squared, and 8cm x 24cm equals to 192cm squared. Lastly, you add the both of the areas together, 240cm and 192cm, and you get 432cm squared.
So what we're dealing with here is a similar triangle situation. Since ML is a midsegment, that means that IL and LJ are congruent. So, IL=LJ=13. This means that the whole side IJ is 26 (13+13=26). We also know that triangle IML and triangle IKJ are similar triangles, so their sides are proportional. This means that we can set up the ratio:
12/13 = x/26
and solve for x.
After multiplying 26 to both sides of the equation, we find that x=24, so KJ=24.
