Answer:
JL = 78
Step-by-step explanation:
MN is a midsegment. Based on the midsegment theorem,
MN = ½(JL)
MN = 5x - 16
JL = 4x + 34
Plug in the value
5x - 16 = ½(4x + 34)
5x - 16 = ½*4x + ½*34
5x - 16 = 2x + 17
Collect like terms
5x - 2x = 16 + 17
3x = 33
Divide both sides by 3
x = 11
✔️JL = 4x + 34
Plug in the value of x
JL = 4(11) + 34
JL = 44 + 34
JL = 78
Answer:
W=5
Step-by-step explanation:
W=Width=Length + 1
L = Length
Area = Length * Width = 20
Area = L * W = L * (L+1) = 20
Distribute the L: L^2 + L = 20
Subtract 20 from both sides: L^2 + L -20 = 20-20
Simplify: L^2+L-20=0
Factor (L-4)(L+5)=0
Solve using the zero property: L-4=0, L=4 L+5=0, L=-5
The two options for length are 4 and -5. Only 4 will work for L since it cannot be negative. Width is Length + 1 = 5
The mean will be 5 points higher...so...c would be the answer!
