Question

JT bisects AJH and the measure of MJT is four times that of TJH. If the measures of MJT is 120 find the measure of MJA.

Answer 1

34MJT

Explanation:

did it on edge

Answer 2

MJH = 120

Let TJH = x

You’re told MJT is 4 times TJH

So you have 4x + x = 120

Simplify: 5x = 120

Divide both sides by 5:

X = 24

TJH = x = 24 degrees.

JT is a bisector so both TJH and TJA are the same. So TJA is also 24 degrees

So MJA = 120 - 24 - 24 = 72

MJA = 72 degrees
