Answer:

The measure of JK is 60

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the points F, G, and H are the midpoints of the sides of triangle JKL , FG = 37, KL = 48, and GH = 30.

The point F is midpoint of JK, point G is midpoint of KL and the point H is midpoint of LJ as shown in figure .

According to the midpoint theorem, the line connecting the midpoints of two sides is parallel to the third and its length is half of the third si

Find the equation of the line that passes through (1, -1) and is parallel to

daser333 [38]

keeping in mind that parallel lines have exactly the same slope, let's check for the slope of the equation above

$2x+y-3=0\implies y=\stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{-2} x+3 \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}$

so we're really looking for the equation of a line with a slope of -2 and that passes through (1 , -1)

$(\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-1})\qquad \qquad \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies -2 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{(-1)}=\stackrel{m}{-2}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{1}) \\\\\\ y+1=-2x+2\implies y=-2x+1$
