Question on: JSS2 Mathematics - Plane figures/shapes
In kite IJKL, IJ = IK = 9 cm and JL = KL = 7 cm. If the diagonals IL and JK intersect at right angles, and IL bisects JK, find the lengths of IL and JK if IL = 15 cm.

Since IL bisects JK and they intersect at right angles:
Let O be the point where the diagonals intersect. Therefore, IO = 15 cm / 2 = 7.5 cm.
If IL is 15 cm, then JK is also bisected, making JO = OK.
Without the exact lengths of JK, we cannot determine the length of JK exactly, but we know that JO and OK are equal parts of JK.
