Question

Rectangle JKLM is congruent to a 4 inch by 7 inch rectangle. How many different values are possible for the length of Segment J M?

Answer 1

If rectangle JKLM is congruent to a 4-inch by 7-inch rectangle, it means that their corresponding sides are equal in length.

Let's consider the length of segment JM, which is one of the sides of rectangle JKLM. Since the rectangle is congruent to a 4-inch by 7-inch rectangle, the length of segment JM can take any value between 4 inches and 7 inches, inclusive.

Therefore, the number of different values possible for the length of segment JM is 7 - 4 + 1 = 4.
