Question

K is between J and M. L is

between K and M. M is
between K and N. If JN = 14, KM = 4, and JK = KL = LM, what is NL?

(do step-by-step fully pls)

Answer 1

Explanation:

given,

K is between J and M, L is between K and M, M is between K and N. JN = 14, KM=4 and JK= KL= LM

NL=?

according to the question,

J-------K-------L------M--------N

We know,

KM= 4

KL+LM=4

KL+KL=4 (LM=KM)

2KL=4

KL=2

SO,

JK=KL=2 and LM=KL=2

we have ,

JN=14

JK+KM+MN= 14

2+4+MN=14

MN=8

Now,

NL=LM+MN= 2+8= 10
