Answer:
Each side of the L-shaped sidewalk is 126 m and 32m respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Total length of the sidewalk = 158 meters
Cutting across the lawn the distance = 130 meters
The L-shaped lawn will be treated as a right angled triangle.
So the 130 m distance is the hypotenuse here.
Let one side of the L-shaped lawn be 'x' meter so the another side will be (158-x) meters.
Applying Pythagoras formula.
So,
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
Applying quadratic formula;
Quadratic formula : 
where a=1 and b=-158 and c=4032
So the value of x= 126 and 32.
The length of each side of the sidewalk is 'x'= 126 m and '(158-x)'='(158-126)'=32 m
Answer:
The measure of angle HJK is 36°
Step-by-step explanation:
<em><u>In a circle</u></em>, <em>the measure of the inscribed angle equal half the measure of the central angle subtended by the same arc</em>
In circle J
∵ J is the center of the circle
∵ H and K lie on the circle
∴ ∠HJK is a central angle subtended by arc HK
∵ L lies on the circle
∴ ∠HLK is an inscribed angle subtended by arc HK
→ By using the rule above
∵ ∠HJK and ∠HLK are the central angle and inscribed angle
subtended by the same arc HK
∴ m∠HLK = 
m∠HJK
∵ m∠HLK = 18°
∴ 18 = m∠HJK
→ Multiply both sides by 2
∴ 36 = m∠HJK
∴ The measure of angle HJK is 36°
Answer:
x = 32
(The answer should be 32 if we are solving for x)
Yes, you are correct.
From the image, we can see 3 triangles, the large triangle and the two triangles that make the larger triangle.
All 3 of these triangles are similar since they're angle measurements are the same (can be proven by geometry).
We can gather the following information from the given information.
- The largest triangle (the one made up of two triangles) has a hypotenuse of 3+9=12, and a leg length of x. The hypotenuse to leg ratio is 12/x
- The second largest triangle has a hypotenuse length x and leg length 9. The hypotenuse to leg ratio is x/9
We know the hypotenuse to corresponding leg ratio must be equal since these two triangles are similar. Thus, we have the equation:
12/x = x/9
Using the cross product property gives us:
x² = 9 × 12
x² = 108
Taking the square root of both sides gives us:
x = √108
= 6 √3
Thus, your answer is correct. Great job!
