Question
in exercises 49–54, the diagonals of square lmnp intersect at k. given that lk = 1, find the indicated measure.
- ( mangle mkn )
- ( mangle lmk )
- ( mangle lpk )
- ( kn )
- ( ln )
- ( mp )
Let's solve each problem one by one:
Problem 49: \( m\angle MKN \)
Step1: Recall square diagonal properties
In a square, the diagonals are perpendicular to each other. So the angle between the diagonals ( \( \angle MKN \)) is \( 90^\circ \).
Step1: Diagonals in square bisect angles
In a square, the diagonals bisect the interior angles. Each interior angle of a square is \( 90^\circ \), so the diagonal bisects it into two angles of \( 45^\circ \). So \( \angle LMK = 45^\circ \).
Step1: Diagonals in square bisect angles
In a square, the diagonals bisect the interior angles. Each interior angle of a square is \( 90^\circ \), so the diagonal bisects it into two angles of \( 45^\circ \). Also, triangle \( LPK \) is an isosceles right triangle? Wait, no. Wait, in square \( LMNP \), \( LP \) and \( LM \) are sides, diagonals bisect angles. So \( \angle LPK \) is \( 45^\circ \) because diagonal bisects the \( 90^\circ \) angle at \( P \).
