Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the figures are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are in proportion, that is

$\frac{JK}{AB}$ = $\frac{KL}{BC}$ , substitute values

$\frac{x}{2}$ = $\frac{8}{4}$ = 2 ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )

x = 4

The second shape is double the first so you would do AB = 2 and then times by 2 as its double and you will get 4
answer = 4

Given that 'n' is a natural number. Prove that the equation below is true using mathematical induction.

LenaWriter [7]

<h3>To ProvE :- </h3>

1 + 3 + 5 + ..... + (2n - 1) = n²

Method :-

If P(n) is a statement such that ,

P(n) is true for n = 1
P(n) is true for n = k + 1 , when it's true for n = k ( k is a natural number ) , then the statement is true for all natural numbers .

$\sf\to \textsf{ Let P(n) : 1 + 3 + 5 + $\dots$ +(2n-1) = n$^{\sf 2}$ }$

Step 1 : Put n = 1 :-

$\sf\longrightarrow LHS = \boxed{\sf 1 } \\$

$\sf\longrightarrow RHS = n^2 = 1^2 = \boxed{\sf 1 }$

Step 2 : Assume that P(n) is true for n = k :-

$\sf\longrightarrow 1 + 3 + 5 + \dots + (2k - 1 ) = k^2$

Add (2k +1) to both sides .

$\sf\longrightarrow 1 + 3+5+\dots+(2k-1)+(2k+1)=k^2+(2k+1)$

RHS is in the form of ( a + b)² = a²+b²+2ab .

$\sf\longrightarrow 1 + 3+5+\dots+(2k-1)+(2k+1)= (k +1)^2$

Adding and subtracting 1 to LHS .

$\sf\longrightarrow 1 + 3+5+\dots+(2k-1)+(2k+1) + 1 -1 = (k +1)^2 \\$

$\sf\longrightarrow 1 + 3+5+\dots+(2k-1)+(2k+2) - 1 = (k +1)^2$

Take out 2 as common .

$\sf\longrightarrow 1 + 3+5+\dots+(2k-1)+\{2(k+1)-1\}= (k +1)^2$

P(n) is true for n = k + 1 .

Hence by the principal of Mathematical Induction we can say that P(n) is true for all natural numbers 'n' .
