Question

point k is on line segment \overline{jl}. given kl = 3 and jl = 13, determine the length \overline{jk}.
answer attempt 1 out of 2
jk =

Explanation:

Step1: Use the segment addition postulate

Since \(K\) is on \(\overline{JL}\), we have \(JL = JK+KL\).

Step2: Solve for \(JK\)

Rearrange the formula: \(JK=JL - KL\). Substitute \(JL = 13\) and \(KL = 3\) into the formula. So \(JK=13 - 3\).

Answer:

\(10\)
