OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be 6?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no.... JM is the distance from J to M...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im confused now.:l

OpenStudy (sirm3d):

JM = JK + KL + LM

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes.. ^^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

also, JK=KL=LM

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ugh im confused. so add jm=jk+kl+lm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but what are they

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is correct...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they give you at least one of 'em....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which is 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

each of JK, KL, and LM is 6 units long... and as @sirm3d said, JM = JK+KL+LM = ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it be 18?

OpenStudy (sirm3d):

yes. the other line has 3 segments \(\overline{AB}\cong \overline{BC}\cong\overline{CD}\). because the horizontal lines are parallel, it follows that \[\overline{JK}\cong \overline{KL}\cong\overline{LM}\]
