Question

Find the indicated length. find LM

Answer 1

The overall length is given as 22.

The line is split into 2 parts X and 3X.

So we have X + 3X = 22

Add X and #X to get 4X:

4X = 22

Divide both sides by 4 to get X:

X = 22 /4

X = 5.5

Now we know what X is so now replace x with 5.5 and solve for LM:

LM = 3X = 3*5.5 = 16.5
