Answer:

LM = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

BC = 4

CD is twice that, so CD is 8

Now, remembering that the area of ABCD = 32 and JKLM = 72, divide 72 by 32.

You get 2.25. This is how much bigger JKLM is than ABCD.

Using that, multiply the length of CD (which is 8) by 2.25 to get the length of LM.

You'll get 18.

Hope this helps!

Find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs measure 6 and 5
Pavel [41]
A right triangle is a type of triangle which contains a right triangle. To be a right triangle, it should satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem which relates the three sides of the triangle. In this triangle, the longest side is called as the hypotenuse. To determine the hypotenuse, we use the Pythagorean Theorem which is expressed as follows:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

where c is the hypotenuse

We calculate as follows:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2
c^2 = 6^2 + 5^2
c^2 = 61
c = √61

Therefore, the hypotenuse of the right triangle with sides 6 and 5 would be √61 which, clearly, is longer than the two sides.
