JK + KL = JL
JK = 2x, KL = x + 2, JL = 5x - 10
therefore we heve the equation:
2x + (x + 2) = 5x - 10
3x + 2 = 5x - 10 |-2
3x = 5x - 12 |-5x
-2x = -12 |:(-2)
x = 6
JK = 2x → JK = 2(6) = 12
KL = x + 2 → KL = 6 + 2 = 8
JL = 5x - 10 → JL = 5(6) - 10 = 30 - 10 = 20
Check:
JK + KL = JL
12 + 8 = 20 CORRECT :)
Ok so pythagorean theorem is
a^2+b^2=c^2
plug it in
8^2+15^2=17^2
64+225=289
289=289
yass it works so that means they do make a right triangle
yes, they make a right triangle because they're a pythagorean triple and pythagorean theorem works when you plug the numbers in.
Answer:120°
Step-by-step explanation:
sum of exterior angles=360
In a triangle we have 3 exterior angles
Size for each exterior angle=360/3
Size for each exterior angle=120°
Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
5x−6=3x+10
Step 1: Subtract 3x from both sides.
5x−6−3x=3x+10−3x
2x−6=10
Step 2: Add 6 to both sides.
2x−6+6=10+6
2x=16
Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.
2x
/2
=
16/
2
x=8
