If the length of JK is 3x and the length of LM is 12x and the length of the entire line JM is 25x , find the length of KL.

Respuesta :

Answer:

10x.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

JK = 3x

LM = 12x

JM = 25x

Let as consider the line as shown in the below figure.

From the figure it is clear that,

[tex]JK+KL+LM=JM[/tex]

[tex]3x+KL+12x=25x[/tex]

[tex]KL+15x=25x[/tex]

[tex]KL=25x-15x[/tex]

[tex]KL=10x[/tex]

Therefore, the length of KL is 10x.
