We know that angle MKJ is comprised of angle MKL and angle LKJ. That means if we add MKL and LKJ, we should get 80 degrees, which is the measure of angle MKJ.
So, we know that our x is 15. That is not enough to tell whether KL is an angle bisector, because we have to evaluate both MKL and LKJ with x=15, so:
So we see that these two angles are actually bisectors, and the third question best describes this phenomenon.
We are given ratio nickel to zinc to copper = 2:7:9.
From this ratio we can see that <em>ratio of nickel to zinc is 2:7</em>.
Let us assume number of pounds of nickel have to be used to create alloy that contains 4.9 lb of zinc is x pounds.
So, we can setup a proportion as :
x : 4.9 = 2:7
Or
On cross multiplication, we get
7x= 4.9× 2
7x = 9.8
Dividing both sides by 7, we get
x = 1.4.
<h3>Therefore, 1.4 pounds of nickel have to be used to create alloy that contains 4.9 lb of zinc.</h3><h3 />
