Points j and k are midpoints of the sides of triangle fgh. triangle f g h is cut by lines segment j k. point j is the midpoint of side g h. point k is the midpoint of side h f. line segments g j and j h are congruent. line segments h k and k f are congruent. the length of j k is 2 y + 5 and the length of g f is 5 y + 3.
what is the value of y?

Value of y = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

By the midpoint theorem of the triangles,

"Segment joining midpoints of the two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and measure half the length of the third side."

Therefore, from the figure attached,

In ΔFGH,

J and K are the mid points of the two sides GH and FH.

By theorem, segment JK║GF and m(JK) =

(5y + 3) = 2(2y + 5)

5y + 3 = 4y + 10

5y - 4y = 10 - 3

y = 7

1,407.5 hours

step-by-step explanation:

we first convert all the time to hours and then sum them up.

there are 24 hours in 1 day, in 58 days, there are 24 x 58 = 1,392 hours.

there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, thus, 30 minutes will be equivalent to 30 / 60 = 0.5 hours.

therefore, the number of hours it will take mercury to complete a full rotation is 1,392 + 15 + 0.5 = 1,407.5 hours

the answer is 8.64
