To solve this problem, we need to use the properties of a rectangle. In a rectangle, opposite sides are equal in length, and the diagonals are also equal in length.Given:-
-
Since
is a rectangle, we know that
and
.Now let's examine the given options one by one:1.
Since
is not a side of the rectangle and we don't have enough information about it, we cannot determine its length without additional information. Therefore, we cannot confirm this statement.2.
If
, then we can set
and solve for
:
Now we can check if
equals 16 when
:\(JL = 3(2) + 1\)
Since
does not equal 16 when
, the value
does not satisfy the condition
. Therefore, this statement is incorrect.3.
Since
is not a side of the rectangle and we don't have enough information about it, we cannot determine its length without additional information. Therefore, we cannot confirm this statement.4.
If
, then
as well because they are opposite sides of the rectangle. However, we have
, so we can set
and solve for
:
Now we can check if
equals 5 when
:
Since
does not equal 5 when
, the value
does not satisfy the condition
. Therefore, this statement is incorrect.5.
If
, then we can set
and solve for
:
Now we can check if
equals 5 when
:
Since
does not equal 5 when
, the value
does not satisfy the condition
. Therefore, this statement is incorrect.Based on the analysis above, none of the given values are correct.
