Answer:
The value of x = 10.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given triangle,
We know that the sum of a triangle is 180°.
i.e.
K + L + M = 180°
(5x - 18)° + 90° + (3x + 28)° = 180°
Therefore, the value of x = 10
The two intersection points are (-2.79, -0.58) and (0.79, 6.58).
<h3>How to find the points of intersection?</h3>
Here we want to solve the system of equations:
y = 2x + 5
x² + y² = 36
To solve this, we need to replace the first equation into the second one:
x² + (2x + 5)² = 36
Now we can solve this for x:
x² + 4x² + 10x + 25 = 36
5x² + 10x - 11 = 0
This is a quadratic equation, to solve it we use the general formula:
So we have two solutions for x:
x = (-10 - 17.9)/10 = -2.79
x = (-10 + 17.9)/10 = 0.79
To get the y-values of the solutions, we evaluate the linear equation in these values of x:
y = 2*(-2.79) + 5 = -0.58
y = 2*( 0.79) + 5 = 6.58
Then the two intersection points are (-2.79, -0.58) and (0.79, 6.58).

A picture can help.
The median to the long side divides the isosceles triangle into two right triangles with hypotenuse 10 and short leg 6. Thus the long leg (median of interest) is found by the Pythagorean theorem to be
... √(10² -6²) = √64 = 8
Then the midpoint of the short side is found to be 6 + (6/2) = 9 units to the side and 8/2 = 4 units above the opposite vertex. Hence the square of the length of that median is 9² + 4² = 97.
The sum of squares of interest is
... 8² + 2×97 = 258
