If \( m\angle P = 7x + 3 \) and \( m\angle Q = 16x + 5 \), how do you find \( m\angle P \) if they are complementary?

Back

Set up the equation: \( (7x + 3) + (16x + 5) = 90 \). Solve for \( x \) and substitute back to find \( m\angle P \).

If \( \overline{KM} \) is the perpendicular bisector of \( \overline{JL} \), what does this imply about the segments?

Back

It implies that \( KM = ML \) and that \( KM \) is perpendicular to \( JL \).

How do you find the midpoint of a line segment?

Back

The midpoint \( M \) of a line segment with endpoints \( (x_1, y_1) \) and \( (x_2, y_2) \) is given by \( M = \left( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} \right) \).

If \( K \) is the midpoint of \( \overline{JL} \), and \( JK = 9x - 1 \) and \( KL = 2x + 27 \), how do you find \( JL \)?

Back

Set \( JK = KL \) because they are equal. Solve for \( x \) and then use \( JL = JK + KL \).

What is the definition of a perpendicular bisector?

Back

A perpendicular bisector of a segment is a line that divides the segment into two equal parts at a 90-degree angle.

Front

How do you solve for an unknown in an equation involving angles?

Back

Isolate the variable by using algebraic operations, then substitute back to find the angle measures.
