A parallelogram in which adjacent sides are perpendicular to each other is called a rectangle. The length of Jk can be either 10 or 26.
<h3>What is a rectangle?</h3>
A parallelogram in which adjacent sides are perpendicular to each other is called a rectangle. A rectangle is always a parallelogram and a quadrilateral but the reverse statement may or may not be true.
Since in a rectangle the opposite sides are equal, therefore, the sides NM and JK will be equal.
JK = MN
8x - 14 = x² + 1
0 = x² - 8x + 15
x = 5, 3
Hence, the length of Jk can be either 10 or 26.
The complete questions are:
Quadrilateral JKMN is a rectangle, if NM= 8x - 14 and JK= x squared + 1, find JK.
