Answer: MN = 7
Explanation: We know that L, M, and N are collinear, this means that the are in a straight line.
If the distance between L and M is 13, and the distance between L and N is 20, then the distance between M and N is the part that you need to complete the distance between L and N, you have that:
LM + MN = LN
MN = LN - LM = 20 - 13 = 7
So the distance between M and N is 7
Segment MN = 7.
The points given (points L, M, and N) have been illustrated in the diagram attached below.
Three points are collinear when all the points lie on a straight line as shown in the diagram attached.
Given:
[tex]LM = 13\\LN = 20[/tex]
[tex]MN = LN - LM[/tex] (segment subtraction postulate)
Plug in the values
[tex]MN = 20 - 13\\MN = 7[/tex]
Therefore the numerical value of segment MN is 7.
