Answer:

The correct answer is option D. 48

Explanation:

From the figure we can see that, some right angled triangles.

To find the measure of LP

Consider the right angled triangle LPT,

LT is the hypotenuse, LP = 50 units (given)

PT = QT = RT = 14 units

From figure we get,

LP² + PT² = LT²²

LP² = LT² - PT²

= 50² - 14²

= 2500 - 196

= 2304

LP =√2304

= 48

The correct answer is option D. 48
