Answer: 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Since line L is parallel to line RA, this means the pieces formed by line L cutting into the triangle are proportional.

That means we can set up the proportion below to solve for d

14/d = 24/36

14*36 = d*24

504 = 24d

24d = 504

d = 504/24

d = 21

Other equations are possible to set up, but you should get the same result regardless.
