Question

For the following figure, $\angle KAP$is a right angle and $\overline{AM}$is a median then complete the statement

If $MA=t$then $KP=\_\_$.

Short answer

The statement is “if $MA=t$, then$KP=2t$ units.

Step-by-step solution

Step 1. Check the figure.

Consider the figure.

Step 2. Step description.

For the right-angle triangle, the median is equal to one-half of the hypotenuse.

Here the angle KAP is the right angle triangle.

Step 3. Step description.

Now, simplify the figure as follows:

$\begin{array}{c}AM=\frac{KP}{2}\\ t=\frac{KP}{2}\\ 2t=KP\\ KP=2t\end{array}$

Thus, the statement is$KP=2t$ units.
