Answer:
LM = 23 units
Step-by-step explanation:
triangle KLN and triangle MLN are congruent.
The segment LM is equal to segment LK.
Also, MN is same as KN, thus we can write:
[tex]MN=KN\\25=14x-3\\25+3=14x\\28=14x\\x=2[/tex]
Since, x = 2, we can get the side length LM:
[tex]LM=LK=9x+5\\LM=LK=9(2)+5\\LM=23[/tex]
Hence, LM = 23 units
Answer:
LM = 23 units
Step-by-step explanation:
From figure we can see an isosceles triangle KNM
KN = NM
NL is the perpendicular from N to KM,
Therefore KL = LM
To find the value of x
From figure we can write,
14x - 3 = 25
14x = 25 + 3 = 28
x = 28/14 = 2
To find LM
LM = KL
we have KL = 9x + 5
Therefore LM = 9x + 5 = (9 * 2) + 5 = 23 units
