Question

In square MNKJ, diagonal MK measures the square root of 50 and in rectangle IJKL, diagonal KI measures 13. What is the length of IJ or KL?

Answer 1

12

Answer 2

can u show me how u did that please

Answer 3

based on the diagonal distance given for a square you can get length of JK, IJ and KL can be determined based on pythagoras(?) theorem

Answer 4

is a 45 degree triangle, the hypotenuse is x* sq. rt. of 2. since the sq rt of 50 is the hyp. divide it by sq rt of 2 to get 5. then use the pathagorean thm. on the hypotenuse 13 and one side of 5 , 5^ + x^2 = 13^2 x = 12.

Answer 5

the only reason it worked was that MNKJ was a square so the sides were x, x, and x times the square root of two. we knew one which is the square root of 50. and the triangle with the side of 13 shared a side of the triangle with the other triangle

Answer 6

thnk u

Answer 7

no problem :)
