PLEASE HELP!!!!What is the distance between points M and N?___ meters.
Question
Answer:
Answer:The distance between points M and N is 9.8m.Step-by-step explanation:It is given that JKL is a triangle and M and N are the mid points of the KL and JL respectively.Now, if we join the mid points together that is MN, then we can see that the basic proportionality holds that is:[tex]\frac{LM}{MK}=\frac{LN}{NJ}[/tex][tex]\frac{10.7}{10.7}=\frac{7.4}{7.4}=\frac{1}{1}[/tex] which holds.And which also proves that MN is parallel to JK.Now, if MN is parallel to JK, then the measure of MN will be half the measure of JK, that is:[tex]MN=\frac{1}{2}JK[/tex][tex]MN=\frac{1}{2}(19.6)[/tex][tex]MN=9.8 m[/tex]Thus, the measure of MN is 9.8 meters.
