The statements that must be true based on the figure given are: a. 8 c. 52 d. KL ≅ ML.

How to find the value of x?

The image (see attachment for missing image) shows two congruent triangles that share a common side, hence, every corresponding parts of the triangles are equal.

Thus, we can find x by creating the following equation:

KN = MN

Plug in the values:

7x - 4 = 5x + 12

Solve for x:

7x - 5x = 4 + 12

2x = 16

x = 16/2

x = 8

MN = 5x = 12 = 5(8) + 12

MN = 52

KN will also be equal to 52.

Sides KL and ML. are also congruent. The correct options would be, A, C, and D.
