Question

Line JK bisects line LM at point J. Find JM if LJ=23 centimeters

Answer 1

Ling JM is also 23 centimeters because line LJ and JM are a line but broken into two segments

Answer 2

The length of JM is 23 centimeters.

Explanation:

It is given that Line JK bisects line LM at point J. It means J is the midpoint of line LM.

A midpoint divides a line in two equal parts.

J is midpoint of LM, so we can say that the distance between L ans J, J and M are same.

`LJ=JM`

It is given that LJ=23 centimeters. Substitute LJ=23 in the above equation to find the value of JM.

`23=JM`

Interchanging the sides, we get

`JM=23`

Therefore the length of JM is 23 centimeters.
