In the figure, lines MJ and AD are cut by the transversals MA, LB, KC, and JD. The transversals are parallel to each other and intersect line AD such that AB = BC = CD. Find JM, keeping in mind that the diagram is not drawn to scale.

Can you help me with this?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

since the transversals are parallel and AB = BC = CD, ML = LK = KJ = 9

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you can find JM now ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's be 9 for JM then too... right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That'd*

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

nopes. look at the diagram once

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

JM = JK+KL+LM = 9 + 9 + 9 = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait... so it'd be 25?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

27 I mean haha

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes !

OpenStudy (anonymous):
