Calculate JK if LJ = 14, JM = 48, and LM = 50

JK = 6.86

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters given are;

LJ = 14

JM = 48

LM = 50

∠JML = 16.26°

Given that ∠JML is bisected by KM, we apply the angle bisector theorem which states that a ray that bisects an interior angle of a triangle bisects the opposite (bisected angle facing side) in the proportion of the ration of the other two sides of the triangle.

From the angle bisector theorem, we have;

LM/JM = LK/JK

50/48 = LK/JK................(1)

LK + KJ = 14.....................(2)

From equation (1), we have;

LK = 25/24×JK

25/24×KJ + JK = 14

JK×(25/24 + 1) = 14

JK × 49/24 = 14

JK = 14×24/49 = 48/7. = 6.86.

JK = 6.86

24

step-by-step explanation:

if it takes 8 pounds to make 12 divide 12 by 8 and you get 1.5, 1.5 x 16 = 24
