Question

Find the measure of KL

A. 10
B. 5
C. 7
D. 8

Answer 1

C.) 7

Explanation:

I got it correct on founders edtell

Answer 2

`ML=9,MN=8`

`MK=ML+LK`

`9+-3+x`

`=9-3+x`

`MK=6+x`

`ME=MN+NE`

`ME=8+x`

Now using Secant secant theorem:-

`ML*MK=MN*ME`

`9(6+x)=8(8+x)`

`54+9x=64+8x`

Subtracting 8x and 54 on both sides:-

`54+9x-8x-54=64+8x-8x-54`

`x=10`

`KL=-3+x`

`KL=-3+10`

`KL=7`

so, your answer is C) 7
