Question

1. Look at the figure, OJKLM. Find the length of JKM5x-114+ 2xK

Answer 1

Answer: 24

Step-by-step explanation

Opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent.

Thus, assuming JKLM as a parallelogram, then:

`5x-1=14+2x`

By solving we get:

`5x-2x=14+1`
`3x=15`
`x=(15)/(3)`
`x=5`

Finally, replacing this value in the expression of JK to know the value of JK:

`JK=14+2(5)`
`JK=14+10`
`JK=24`
