In the figure the horizontal lines are parallel and ab=bc=cd if lm =5 find jm

The correct option is A. 15 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The horizontal lines are parallel. ⇒ MA ║ LB ║ KC ║ JD .

            LM = 5 units . AB = BC = CD

To Find : Length of JM

Solution : Since the horizontal lines are parallel and the lines MJ and AD are transversal. So, By the transversal theorem :

If segments on a transversal cut by parallel lines are equal, then similar segments cut by the same parallel lines on another transversal are also equal.

⇒ If AB = BC = CD then ML = LK = KJ

Now, JM = LM + KL + KJ

⇒ JM = LM + LM + LM

⇒ JM = 3 × LM

⇒ JM = 3 × 5

⇒ JM = 15 units

Therefore, The correct option is A. 15 units

answer: b.

step-by-step explanation:

the y coordinate for point b is 0, and answer b is the only one with that y coordinate.

multiplication is multiplication.   it might feel harder depending on what level of math you are in, but generally it will be the same old stuff, while implementing some new concepts and methods of solving work.
