Question

JKLM is a triangle. Find the measure of m

Answer 1

We need x and y

JKLM is a rectangle not triangle

Opposite sides of rectangle are equal

• JM=KL
• KJ=LM

Now

`\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 4y+5=2y+35`

`\\ \rm\Rrightarrow -2y=-30`

`\\ \rm\Rrightarrow y=-30/-2`

`\\ \rm\Rrightarrow y=15`

And

`\\ \rm\Rrightarrow x+31=5x-9`

`\\ \rm\Rrightarrow -4x=-40`

`\\ \rm\Rrightarrow x=10`
