Start by using trig to find the length of the line LJ
The triangle KJL (big right angled triangle) has been given the following dimensions
Hypotenuse =
The adjacent angle is 30 degrees
Since we have the hypotenuse and the angle we must use the equation
opposite = Sin(angle) x Hypotenuse
Opposite= sin30 x
Opposite=
Therefore line LJ is
Now look at the smaller right angled triangle (LMJ)
Hypotenuse is the line LJ which is
The adjacent angle is 45
Since we have hypotenuse and angle we must use the equation opposite = sin(angle) * h
therefore
x= * sin45= 4

<u>Answer:</u>
- Translation: 2x/7 = 20
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
- <em>When we listen to the word "quotient", it means the solution to a division problem. </em>
- <em>An unknown number that has been multiplied by 2 is in the numerator because it came before the 7 in the statement. </em>
- <em>The number "7" is in the denominator because it came after the 2x in the statement. </em>
- <em>The word "is" represents an equal sign.</em>
- <em>The solution to the division problem (quotient) is 20. </em>
<u><em>If we put these clues together, we get 2x/7 = 20 as our translated equation.</em></u>
<u>Hence, our algebraic statement is 2x/7 = 20. The key is to listen to the statement. </u>
