Since J is the midpoint of HK, that means HK is split into two sections HJ and JK that are the same length.
1) You are told that the m<span>easure of segment HJ = 9x-2 and that of segment JK = 4x+13. Since you also know they are equal lengths, you can set these equations equal to each other to find the value of x!
HJ = JK
</span>9x-2 = 4x+13
5x = 15
x = 3
2) Now you know x = 3. Plug that into your given equations for HJ and JK to find the length of each segment (or a shortcut would be to find one of them, and then you also know the other is the same length. I'm doing both, just to make sure I don't make a silly mistake!):
HJ = <span>9x-2
</span>HJ = 9(3) - 2
HJ = 27 - 2
HJ = 25
JK = 4x + 13
JK = 4(3) + 13
JK = 12 + 13
JK = 25
3) Finally, the length of HK is just the length of HJ + JK, or HK = 25 + 25 = 50.

Answer: HJ = 25, JK = 25, HK = 50
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use point slope form
y - y1 = m(x-x1)
where m is the slope and ( x1,y1) is a point on the line
y-12 = 3(x-12)
If we want it in slope intercept form
Distribute
y-12 = 3x-36
Add 12 to each side
y-12+12 = 3x-36+12
y = 3x-24
Would this work? Hope it helps
First, let's list the lengths of the sides in descending order.
Lengths of sides of quadrilateral ABCD: 20, 18, 14, a
Lengths of sides of quadrilateral EFGH: b, c, 6, 5
From the listings above, we see that he sides measuring 14 and 6 are corresponding.
We are looking for c which corresponds to 18.
14 is to 6 is as 18 is to c
14/6 = 18/c
7/3 = 18/c
7c = 3 * 18
7c = 54
c = 54/7 = 7 5/7
Answer: 7 5/7 feet
