Answer:
8. GH = 49; HJ = 35; JG = 35
9. KL = 26, LM = 26, MK = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
8. The sides opposite the marked angles are congruent.
JG = JH
3x +8 = 35
3x = 27 . . . . . . . subtract 8
x = 9 . . . . . . . divide by 3
We already know JG and JH, so we only need to find GH:
GH = 6x -5 = 6(9) -5 = 54 -5 = 49
Then the side lengths are ...
GH = 49, HJ = 35, JG = 35

9. This, too, is an isosceles triangle.
LK = LM
26 = 2y+8
18 = 2y . . . . . . . subtract 8
y = 9 . . . . . . . divide by 2
KM = 3(9) -7 = 27 -7 = 20
Then the side lengths are ...
KL = 26, LM = 26, MK = 20
