Answer:

2 1/6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

A carpenter has a board that is 8 feet long. He cuts off two pieces. One piece is 3 1/2 feet long and the other is 2 1/3 feet long. How much of the board is left?

Total length of the board = 8 feet

Piece A = 3 1/2 feet

Piece B = 2 1/3 feet

Piece A + piece B

= 3 1/2 feet + 2 1/3 feet

= 7/2 + 7/3

= (21+14) / 6

= 35/6

= 5 5/6 feet

Length of the board remaining = Total length of the board - length of the two pieces

= 8 feet - 35/6 feet

= (48-35) / 6

= 13/6 feet

= 2 1/6 feet

Length of the board remaining = 2 1/6 feet

a surveyor measures the distance to the two landmarks as shown in the diagram what is the distance d. between the landmarks​
Inessa [10]
<h3>The distance between two landmarks is 123 meters</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

We have to find the distance between two landmarks

<em><u>Use the law of cosines</u></em>

The third side of a triangle can be found when we know two sides and the angle between them

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab\ cos c

Here, angle between 90 meters and 130 meters is 65 degrees

From figure,

a = 90

b = 130

c = d

Therefore,

d^2 = 90^2 + 130^2 - 2(90)(130)\ cos 65\\\\d^2 = 8100 + 16900 - 23400\ cos\ 65\\\\d^2 = 25000 - 23400 \times 0.4226\\\\d^2 = 25000 - 9889.267\\\\d^2 = 15110.73\\\\d = 122.92\\\\d \approx 123

Thus, the distance between two landmarks is 123 meters

If JK and LM are congruent and parallel, then JKL and MLK are congruent.
viktelen [127]

Answer:

Given statement is TRUE.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that line segment JK and LM are parallel. From picture we see that LK is transversal line.

We know that corresponding angles formed by transversal line are congruent.

Hence ∠JKL = ∠ MLK ...(i)

Now consider triangles JKL and MLK

JK = LM  {Given}

∠JKL = ∠ MLK { Using (i) }

KL = KL  {common sides}

Hence by SAS property of congruency of triangles, ΔJKL and ΔMLK are congruent.

Hence given statement is TRUE.
