Given = Three points are collinear K, L, M.
KL= 6 cm, LM = 10 cm
find the value of the KM.
To proof
as given in question the K, L, M are the collinear points.
COLLINEAR POINTS
Three points like K , L, M said to be collinear if they lie on a single straight line .
FIRST POSSIBILTY
KL= 6cm , LM = 10 cm
thus
KM = KL + LM
= 6 + 10
= 16 cm
hence the value of the KM=16 cm.
This case diagram is shown below
SECOND POSSIBILITY
KL= 6cm , LM = 10 cm
Thus
KM = LM - KL
= 10 - 6
= 4cm
hence the value of the KM=4cm
