Answer 1

Is there an equation or drawing?

Answer 2

well what is the value of x

Answer 4

ok thanks, one sec

Answer 5

hmm it says "Access Denied: Log in first"

Answer 6

can you post a screenshot?

Answer 7

im sorry one econd im new to this

Answer 8

that's ok

Answer 9

Here's a different problem

Answer 10

segment JK = segment KL (reason: given...by the visual markings)

segment NK = segment KM (reason: given,again by the markings)

Answer 11

angle JKN = angle LKM (vertical angle theorem)

Answer 12

these 3 facts allow us to use the SAS theorem (since we have 2 sides and an angle sandwiched between) to say that

triangle JKN = triangle LKM

Answer 13

Thank you so much! I have more problems, if you could just wait a second

Answer 14

I can do a few more, but not all of them.

Answer 15

ok thats fine

Answer 16

8. What is the value of x? (1 point)

Answer 17

those markings mean we have an isosceles triangle

so that means the two base angles are congruent

Answer 18

if the base angles are x degrees, then...

(base angle1) + (base angle2) + (apex angle) = 180 degrees

( x ) + ( x ) + 93.5 = 180

x + x + 93.5 = 180

2x + 93.5 = 180

2x = 180 - 93.5

2x = 86.5

x = 86.5/2

x = 43.25

Answer 19

so its 43.25o

Answer 20

yes, 43.25 degrees

Answer 21

9. Is triangle PQS = RQS by HL? If so, name the legs that allow the use of HL.

Answer 22

I can do 2 more.

The hypotenuse is the longest side (always) in a right triangle. So because PS and SR have the same markings, they are congruent (ie PS = SR)

segment SQ = segment SQ (reflexive property)

so these two facts allow us to use HL (Hypotenuse Leg)

Answer 23

Ok give me a second im trying to see which ones i can do on my own and which ones I cant

Answer 24

Alright

Answer 25

Actually that was all I needed help with, thanks!

Answer 26

alright great, you're welcome
