SolutioN :-

Here we are provided with a diagram of a triangle. We need to find out the length of the segment LM . As we can see that ,

∆ KNL MNL , [ By AAS ]

Therefore ,

  • KN = MN ( by cpct )

⇒ KN = MN

⇒ 14x - 3 = 25

⇒ 14x = 25 + 3

⇒ 14x = 28

x = 2

Put this x = 2 in LM :-

⇒ LM = 9x + 5

⇒ LM = 9*2 + 5

⇒ LM = 18 + 5

LM = 23

Hence the required answer is 23 .
