Answer:

The length of legs lm, mn, and lk is 32 while that of kn is 36.

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram is attached in the answer.

As both the angles are equal thus the two forms isosceles triangles. This is true because the converse of base angle theorem is applicable here. The theorem clearly states that when a trapezoid is divided by the diagonal, it forms two set of angles where m<1=m<2 and m<lmk=m<nmk

This leads the two set of legs such as

\dfrac{lm}{kn}=\dfrac{8}{9}

Or this could be written as

lm=8x\\kn=9x

Now the remaining two sides are given as

lk=lm as this form an isosceles triangle so

lk=8x

Similarly

mn=lm\\

Or

mn=8x

Now the perimeter is given as

\text{perimeter}=lm+mn+kn+lk\\

Here perimeter is given as 132 so this gives:

\text{perimeter}=lm+mn+kn+lk\\132=8x+8x+8x+9x\\132=33x\\x=\dfrac{132}{33}\\x=4

So the four legs are of length as given below:

lm=8x=8\times 4=32\\mn=8x=8\times 4=32\\lk=8x=8\times 4=32\\kn=9x=9\times4=36

So the length of legs lm, mn, and lk is 32 while that of kn is 36.

Ket [755]

Answer:

  B.  Step 2 uses the associative property, and step 3 uses the commutative property.

Step-by-step explanation:

The associative property lets you group terms for addition any way you like. It appears that in Step 2, the grouping is ...

  4 + (1/6 + 3) + 5/6

The commutative property lets you change the order of any pair of terms involved in addition. It appears that in Step 3, the order of the terms within the group has been swapped.

  4 + (3 + 1/6) + 5/6

_____

<em>Comment on associative and commutative properties</em>

What applies to terms in addition applies to factors in multiplication.

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Let's calculate the "cups of sugar per dozen cookies" ratio:

2 cups

---------- = 0.8  (Rina)        

  2.5                                  

2.25 cups

------------- = 0.75 (Jonah)

     3

Rina uses more sugar for a dozen cookies.
