Given that point J is on the line segment IK, the numerical value of segment IK is 20.

What is the numerical length of segment IK?

Given the data in the question;

  • Length of segment IK = 5x
  • Length of segment IJ = 4
  • Length of segment JK = 4x
  • Numerical length of segment IK = ?

First we determine the value of x.

Since J is a point between I and K

Segment IK = Segment IJ + Segment JK

We plug in the given values.

5x = 4 + 4x

Collect like-terms

5x - 4x = 4

x = 4

Since Length of segment IK = 5x

IK = 5x

IK = 5(4)

IK = 20

Given that point J is on the line segment IK, the numerical value of segment IK is 20.
