Point L is on line segment KM. Given LM=11 and KL=4, determine the length KM.

Hey there! I'm happy to help.

Let's think of the line segment KM as a road. It starts at point K and ends at M. You start driving from point K and after 4 miles, you have reached point L. The segment KL is equal to 4 because the distance between K and L is 4.

From point L to point M, you drive 11 miles. You are now at the end of the road. We want to find out how long the road is.

From point K to point L, you drove for 4 miles.

Then, from L to M, you drove 11.

We combine these...

11+4=15

The length of KM is 15.

Have a wonderful day! :D

i think that you should ask google for the answer to that problem because if we don't know it google does
