The figure below shows a circle with two chords JM and KL intersecting at point S. Grace took the measurements of the line segments and wrote them down as shown. Segment KS is 1.8 cm, segment SM is 2.5 cm, segment JS is 4.5 cm, and segment SL is 1.2 cm. Describe the method you use to prove that Grace took incorrect measurements. Use geometric theorems to write a two-column proof.

SECOND TO LAST QUESTION HELP PLEASE

Judge from the figure given, KS should be the similar length as JS, SM should have similar length as SL. But when you look at the measurements, JS(4.5cm) is way longer than KS(1.8cm) ; SM(2.5cm) is longer than KS which is quite illogical. KS has about the same length as SL(1.2cm) which is also quite illogical. from these reasons we may judge that her measurements are incorrect.
