Question

Please help me with 5

Answer 1

JL = 38

Explanation:

Since JK ≅ KL , then Δ JKL is isosceles and KM is a perpendicular bisector, so

JM = ML , that is

14x - 9 = 8x + 3 ( subtract 8x from both sides )

6x - 9 = 3 ( add 9 to both sides )

6x = 12 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 2

Then

JL = 14x - 9 + 8x + 3 = 22x - 6 = 22(2) - 6 = 44 - 6 = 38
