Question

In the diagram below, which distance represents the distance from point J to KL

Answer 1

The answer would be line JM because the line is the same length as line KL and it connects the line to the angle

Answer 2

Option B JM is the right answer.

Explanation:

The distance that represents the distance from point J to KL is JM.

The distance between any given point and a line is the shortest distance between a fixed point and any point on the line.

This implies that it is the length of the perpendicular line segment on the line and passes through the point.

Here, in the figure, JM is perpendicular to the line KL drawn from the point J.

So, the answer is JM.
