Answer:
8 is the length of JB
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Key skills needed: Equations, Congruence</u>
1) We need to find out an equation to make based on the lengths that are given. ΔJMB is congruent to ΔKMB because of Side-Angle-Side:
- JB is congruent to BK
- Angle MBK would be a right angle, since it is supplementary to the right angle JBM. Since both are right angles they are congruent.
- Both triangles have the side BM. Using the reflexive property, BM is congruent to itself, so there you go --> Side-Angle-Side
2) Now since both triangles are congruent, we can make the equation that the length of JM is congruent to the length of MK, using the fact that: If triangles are congruent, then corresponding parts are congruent.
3) This means that 16x -24 = 4x
Subtract 16x from both sides : -24 = -12x
Divide by -12 on both sides and get x = 2
4) Substitute x into the length of JB (16x-24)
16(2)-24 = 32-24 = 8
5) Therefore, the length of JB is 8
