Answer:

Option C. √280

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained

MN = 19

ML = 9

LN =?

We can obtain the value of LN by using the pythagoras theory as illustrated:

M ² = ML² + LN²

19² = 9² + LN²

361 = 81 + LN²

Collect like terms

361 – 81 = LN²

280 = LN²

Take the square root of both side

LN = √280

Therefore, the length of LN is √280
