Line JK bisects line LM at point J. Find JM if LJ=23 centimeters
Ling JM is also 23 centimeters because line LJ and JM are a line but broken into two segments
Answer:
The length of JM is 23 centimeters.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that Line JK bisects line LM at point J. It means J is the midpoint of line LM.
A midpoint divides a line in two equal parts.
J is midpoint of LM, so we can say that the distance between L ans J, J and M are same.
\(LJ=JM\)
It is given that LJ=23 centimeters. Substitute LJ=23 in the above equation to find the value of JM.
\(23=JM\)
Interchanging the sides, we get
\(JM=23\)
Therefore the length of JM is 23 centimeters.
