If JK = 28, JL = 20, KL = 13, and ML = 22, calculate NL. Image not set to scale.

NL  = 440 /13  or 33.85 (to two decimals)

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider triangles JKL and NML

angle JLK = angle NLM           vertical angles

angle KJL = angle MNL           given

Therefore triangles JKL and NML are similar

By proportion of corresponding sides of similar triangles,

NL / JL = LM / LK

Substitute given values

NL / 20 = 22 / 13

solve for NL

NL = 20*22 / 13 = 440 /13  or 33.85 (to two decimals)

Step-by-step explanation:

JL is similar to NL. KL is similar to ML.

We can use ratios to solve.

JL/KL = NL/ML

Let the length of NL be x.

20/13 = x/22

Cross multiply.

13 × x = 22 × 20

13x = 440

Divide both sides by 13.

(13x)/13 =440/13

x = 440/13 = 33.846154...

the central idea is that:

individuals should refuse to cooperate with institutions they believe unjust.

thoreau felt  that governments were more often agents of corruption than justice, even democracies, and that just because the majority feels a certain way does not make it just or correct in absolute terms. he uses the fact that slavery exists in our democracy to support this idea.

he goes on to say that, as a result, people should live true to their own internal laws regarding right and wrong, as a product of reflection and a moral life, rather than following every law that society imposes.
