To solve for the other leg, you need to use Pythagorean theory.
The theory states that C^2 = A^2 + B^2
In your case, you have to solve for B.
C = 40 (hypotenuse) A = 24 (leg 1)
The formula rewritten for B is
Now, you can solve.
Therefore, B = 32.
So the second leg is 32 feet.
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.
m∠J and m∠Kare base angles of an isosceles trapezoid JKLM.
If m∠J = 18x + 8, and m∠M = 11x + 15 , find m∠K.
A. 1
B. 154
C. 77
D. 26
Answer: B. m∠K = 154
Step-by-step explanation: <u>Isosceles</u> <u>trapezoid</u> is a parallelogram with two parallel sides, called Base, and two non-parallel sides that have the same measure.
Related to internal angles, angles of the base are equal and opposite angles are supplementary.
In trapezoid JKLM, m∠J and m∠M are base angles, so they are equal:
18x + 8 = 11x + 15
7x = 7
x = 1
Now, m∠K is opposite so, they are supplementary, which means their sum results in 180°:
m∠J = 18(1) + 8
m∠J = 26
m∠K + m∠J = 180
m∠K + 26 = 180
m∠K = 154
The angle m∠K is 154°
Answer:
C) 16, 6
Step-by-step explanation:
- Set AB and DC equal to eachother. 4x = x + 12.
- Subtract x from both sides. 3x = 12
- Divide by 3 to get x alone. x = 4
- Plug this x value in the equation for AB. 4•(4) = 16
- We know the AD equals 6, so that will be one of the values and we now know that AB equals 16.
Feet
_____
second
10 feet
________
16 second
equals
.625 feet per second
35 which is slope which in turn represents the speed.
