Question

J is between H and K If HJ=5p JK=p and KH=3 Find HJ

Answer 1

HJ = 2.5

Explanation:

It is given that, J is between H and K. So,

HK = JH + JK

We have, HJ=5p JK=p and KH=3

So,

3 = 5p + p

3 = 6p

p = 1/2

The value of p is 1/2

Put the value of p in HJ=5p

i.e.

`HJ = 5* (1)/(2)\\\\HJ=2.5`
