The length of the KN is 4.4

Step-by-step explanation:

We know from Pythagoras theorem  

In a right angle ΔLMN  

Base² + perpendicular² = hypotenuse ²

From the properties of triangle we also know that altitudes are ⊥ on the sides they fall.

Hence ∠LKM = ∠NKM = 90 °

Given values-

LM=12

LK=10

Let KN be “s”

⇒LN= LK + KN

⇒LN= 10+x        eq 1

Coming to the Δ LKM

⇒LK²+MK²= LM²

⇒MK²= 12²-10²

⇒MK²= 44           eq 2

Now in Δ MKN

⇒MK²+ KN²= MN²

⇒44+s²= MN²       eq 3

In Δ LMN

⇒LM²+MN²= LN²

Using the values of MN² and LN² from the previous equations

⇒12² + 44+s²= (10+s) ²

⇒144+44+s²= 100+s²+20s

⇒188+s²= 100+s²+20s    cancelling the common term “s²”

⇒20s= 188-100

∴ s= 4.4

Hence the value of KN is 4.4

What's the area of this triangle
Luda [366]

Answer:

D      A = (1/2) (y₂ - y₁)(x₃ - x₁)

Step-by-step explanation:

b = (y₂ - y₁)

h = (x₃ - x₁)

A = (1/2)bh

A = (1/2) (y₂ - y₁)(x₃ - x₁)

What is the equation of the function that is graphed as line a?
valentinak56 [21]
F(x)=-1x-1

1)  Pick 2 points on the line (i chose (-4,3) and (3,-4)
2) Find slope of the line using the 2 points. (work below)
3) Find y-intercept, which is the point where y-axis and the line cross (y-intercept is -1).
4) Place both slope and y-intercept into slope-intercept form, y=mx+b (m=slope and b=y-intercept.)
5) Change y to f(x) (meaning function of x).

Work:
3-(-4)/-4-3=3+4/-4-3=7/-7=-1

y-intercept equals -1 also.

y=mx+b
y=-1x+(-1)
y=-1x-1
f(x)=-1x-1<---Answer

Prove that (81/16)^-3/4 ×[(25/9)^-3/2 ÷ (5/2)^-3]=1​
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

First write them in positive exponent form

(16/81)¾ × [ (9/25)^3/2 ÷ (2/5)³ ]

(2⁴×¾)/ (3⁴×¾) × [ (3² × ^3/2) / (5² ×^3/2) ÷ 2³/5³)

Simplify the terms

2³/3³ × ( 3³ / 5³ ÷ 2³/5³)

Solve the terms in the bracket

2³/3³ × (3³/5³×5³/2³)

You will get

2³/3³ × 3³/2³ = 1

They will cancel each other so the answer will be 1

Hope this helps.
