Q. WR=48.5 W R=48.5 centimeters (cm) (\mathrm{cm}) and\newlineTR=(7k19.4)cm T R=(7 k-19.4) \mathrm{cm} \newlineDetermine the value of k k .
  1. WR given: question_prompt: What is the value of kk when WRWR equals TRTR?\newline WRWR is given as 48.548.5 cm, so we write that down.\newlineWR=48.5WR = 48.5 cm
  2. TR given: TR is given by the expression (7k19.4)(7k - 19.4) cm, so we also write that down.\newlineTR = (7k19.4)(7k - 19.4) cm
  3. Setting WR=TRWR=TR: Since WRWR equals TRTR, we set the two expressions equal to each other.\newline48.5=7k19.448.5 = 7k - 19.4
  4. Isolating k term: Now we solve for k. First, we add 19.419.4 to both sides to isolate the term with k.\newline48.5+19.4=7k48.5 + 19.4 = 7k
  5. Addition on left side: We do the addition on the left side.\newline48.5+19.4=67.948.5 + 19.4 = 67.9\newline67.9=7k67.9 = 7k
  6. Dividing by 77: Next, we divide both sides by 77 to solve for kk.67.97=k\frac{67.9}{7} = k
  7. Finding k value: We do the division to find the value of kk.k=9.7k = 9.7
