Question

Point K is on line segment \overline{JL} Given JL=19JL=19 and KL=12,KL=12, determine the length \overline{JK}.

Answers

  1. The measure of the segment JK from the given information is 7

    Line segment

    A line is defined as the smallest distance between two points. The point where two lines meet is known as an angle.
    Given the following parameters
    JL=19 and KL=12
    Required
    Length of JK
    Using the addition postulate
    JK + KL = JL
    JK + 12 = 19
    Subtract 12 from both sides
    JK + 12 -12 = 19 – 12
    JK = 19-12
    JK = 7
    Hence the measure of the segment JK from the given information is 7
