Question

1. Use the segment addition postulate to determine the numerical length of ML.

110 + 4x
70
x+103
M
L
x+243
K

Answer 1

Answer: ML = 93 units

Explanation:

we see that the 3 segments add up to x + 243

(110 +4x) + (x + 103) + 70 = x +243

4x + x + 110 + 103 + 70 = x + 243

5x + 283 = x + 243

4x = 243 - 283

4x = -40

x = -10

segment ML is x + 103

ML = -10 + 103

ML = 93 units
