Using the segment addition postulate find the length of the segment EF

Mathematics

Step2247 [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm pretty sure the segment addition postulate just means that if you add JK and KL together, you'll get the length of JL. Correct me if I'm wrong...

Anyways, JK = 3x - 4, and KL = 5x + 6. If we add these together, according to the segment addition postulate, we will get JL, which equals 9x - 8. So, we set up an equation:

3x - 4 + 5x + 6 = 9x - 8

Simplifying this equation, we get:

8x + 2 = 9x - 8

x = 10

So, our answer is 10.

(also you ask for segment EF but I don't see segment EF so I'm going to just answer the question in the picture)

Solve for an angle in right triangles
madreJ [45]

The angle of B is 56.2 degrees

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

Given is a right angled triangle ABC

From given figure,

AB = 9

CB = 5

We have to find the angle of B

Let the angle of B be \theta

By definition of cosine,

cos \theta = \frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}

Here, adjacent = CB and hypotenuse = AB

Therefore,

cos \theta = \frac{5}{9}\\\\cos \theta = 0.556

Taking cos inverse on both sides,

\theta = cos^{-1}(0.556)\\\\\theta = 56.22038005 \approx 56.22

Thus the angle of B is 56.22 degrees

1 - For what value of n is 20 = n/5 + 10 ?
Elena-2011 [213]
First one

20=n/5+10
minus 10 both sides
10=n/5
times 5 both sides
50=n

hmm
expand
p(x)=2x^2+5x+3-3x-3n
p(x)=2x^2+2x+3-3n
it looks like the coefients of the x terms are divisble by 2
because
if we have
p(x)=2(something)
the p(x) is divisible by 2

therefor that factor is 2 or -2
find what value of n works
so
3-3n=a multipule of 2
we are given
-3,-2,0,2
try each
3-3(-3)=3+9=12, that's divisble by 2
3-3(-2)=3+6=9, that's not divisible by 2
3-3(0)=3, that's not divisble by 2
3-3(2)=3-6=3, that's not divisble by 2


the onnly one that woks is when n=-3

answer is A
