If K parallel to L find the value of a and the value of b.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The attached triangle

Such that K is parallel to L

Required

Find the value of a and b

From the properties of parallel triangles;

Provided that k is parallel to l, then

Multiply both sides by (60)(40)

Open Bracket

Subtract 40a from both sides

Divide both sides by 20

Similarly;

Multiply both sides by (60)(40)

Open Bracket

Subtract 40b from both sides

Divide both sides by 20

b) 1/3 * 1/5

step-by-step explanation:

each smallest part is 1/15 since the written one is 1/5 and it's divided by 3 equal parts. (1/5 )/3 = 1/15 = 1/3 * 1/5

final total: 63

step-by-step explanation:

60 times sales tax

60 times 0.05

3

60 + 3

63
