Question

Find the length of HL if H is between point K and L, KH=3.4 inches,and KL=14.9 inches

Answer 1

Given that H is between K and L.

That is K,H,L form a straight line and KL = KH+HL.

Given KH=3.4 inches and KL = 14.9 inches.

If we plugin these values in KL=KH+HL

14.9 = 3.4+HL

HL = 14.9-3.4 = 11.5 inches

Hence length of HL is 11.5 inches.

Answer 2

Refer to the attached image.

Since, H is between 'K' and 'L'.

Given: The measure of KH = 3.4 inches and KL = 14.9 inches.

The measure of segment HL is determined by subtracting the measure of segment KH from the measure of segment KL.

HL = KL - KH

HL = 14.9 inches - 3.4 inches

HL = 11.5 inches.

Therefore, the measure of segment HL is 11.5 inches.
