Answer: 7.2

Step-by-step explanation:

LM/LN = X/ON

18/10 = X/4

Now cross multiply.

X = 4 * 1.8 = 7.2

Given:

• LM = 18

,

• NO = 4

,

• LN = 10

Where LO bisects ∠NLM.

Let's find the value of x.

To find the value of x given that LO bisects angle NLM, it means LO also divides NM exactly by half.

Thus, we have:

NO = MO = 4

MO = x = 4

Therefore, the value of x = 4

ANSWER:

x = 4
