Answer:

KL = 6

Explanation:

We see that the length of IL includes IJ, JK, and Kl and is 26.

Since IL = 26 and IJ + JK + KL = IL, we can subtract the sum of the lengths of IJ and Jk from IL to find KL:

IL = IJ + JK + KL

26 = 9 + 11 + KL

26 = 20 + KL

6 = KL

Thus, the length of KL is 6.

We can confirm this fact by plugging in 6 for KL and checking that we get 26 on both sides of the equation when simplifying:

IL = IJ + JK + KL

26 = 9 + 11 + 6

26 = 20 + 6

26 = 26

Thus, our answer is correct.
