Answer:

$KL=45\tan 50^{\circ}\sin 50^{\circ}\approx 41.08\\ \\KN=45\sin 50^{\circ}\approx 34.47$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

KL ║ NM,

LM = 45

m∠M = 50°

KN ⊥ NM

NL ⊥ LM

To determine: KN and KL

1. Analyzing triangle NLM, we see it is a right triangle due to NL ⊥ LM. In this context,

LM = 45

m∠M = 50°

Consequently,

$\tan \angle M=\dfrac{\text{opposite leg}}{\text{adjacent leg}}=\dfrac{NL}{LM}=\dfrac{NL}{45}\\ \\NL=45\tan 50^{\circ}$

It is also true that

(angles LNM and M are complementary). $m\angle LNM=90^{\circ}-50^{\circ}=40^{\circ}$

2. Now considering triangle NKL, it also forms a right triangle as KN ⊥ NM. Within this triangle,

$NL=45\tan 50^{\circ}$

$m\angle KLN=m\angle LNM=40^{\circ}$ (alternate interior angles)

$m\angle KNL=90^{\circ}-40^{\circ}=50^{\circ}$ (angles KNL and KLN are complementary).

Thus,

$\sin \angle KNL=\dfrac{\text{opposite leg}}{\text{hypotenuse}}=\dfrac{KL}{LN}=\dfrac{KL}{45\tan 50^{\circ}}\\ \\KL=45\tan 50^{\circ}\sin 50^{\circ}\approx 41.08$

and

$\cos \angle KNL=\dfrac{\text{adjacent leg}}{\text{hypotenuse}}=\dfrac{KN}{LN}=\dfrac{KN}{45\tan 50^{\circ}}\\ \\KN=45\tan 50^{\circ}\cos 50^{\circ}=45\sin 50^{\circ}\approx 34.47$

As part of Kayla's exercise program, she either runs 6 miles/day or rides her bike 10 miles/day. Her new goal is to cover a mini

lawyer [9240]

To find out the number of days, we should create equations based on the values provided. The total distance Kayla aims to travel combines both her running distance and her biking distance.

200 miles = (6 miles/day)x + (10 miles/day)y

where x signifies the days she spent running and y represents the days bike riding.

If the minimum biking days are set to be 15, indicated by y = 15, we have:

200 miles = (6 miles/day)x + (10 miles/day)(15 days)

Solving for x gives:
200 = 6x + 150
50 = 6x
x = 8.3333 days

Total days = 15 days biking + 8.3333 days running = 23.3333 days, approximately making it 24 days.

The findings are probably not valid since it is improbable that the tires fitted in just one hour on Monday accurately reflect the whole population of tires.Step-by-step explanation: Out of 8 hours, do you truly believe that one hour could stand for all? This is the reason the results are likely invalid (I also participated in the quiz).
