Answer:

NM = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given rectangle JKLM

JN = x + 3 and JL = 3x + 1

JN = 1/2JL as diagonals bisect each other and N is the midpoint of JL.

Substitute and solve for x:

x + 3 = 1/2(3x + 1)

2x + 6 = 3x + 1

3x - 2x = 6 - 1

x = 5

Find JN

JN = 5 + 3 = 8

Looking at the options, we see that

NM = JN = 8

Correct option is A

For an angle (theta) with the point (5, -12) on its terminating side, what is the value of cosine?

padilas [110]

we are given

(x,y)=(5,-12)

so, x=5 and y=-12

now, we can find r

$r=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$

$r=\sqrt{5^2+(-12)^2}$

$r=13$

now, we can find cos

$cos(\theta)=\frac{x}{r}$

so, we get

$cos(\theta)=\frac{5}{13}$ ...........Answer

Michael reads 12 pages of a book in 18 minutes, 8 pages in 12 minutes,and 20 pages in 30 minutes. Is this a proportional relatio

maria [59]

Answer:

y = 2/3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Reading rate is y pages per x minutes and proportional relationship formula is:

y = kx

The coefficient is:

k = y/x

Let's verify if the given numbers fit into the same relationship:

12/18 = 2/3
8/12 = 2/3
20/30 = 2/3

We confirm all same and it means k = 2/3

Required equation is:

y = 2/3x

This represents that Michael reads 2 pages per 3 minutes and for x minutes he reads 2/3x pages
