Question

Line LR bisects MN at point L. Find the length of ML if MN = 152 ft.

Answer 1

`ML = 76\text{ feet}`

Explanation:

Since Line LR bisects MN at point L, by the definition of bisector:

`\overline{ML} \cong \overline{LN}`

We want to determine ML if MN measures 152 feet.

MN is the sum of ML and LN. Hence;

`ML + LN = MN`

Since ML = LN and MN = 152:

`ML + (ML) = (152)`

Simplify:

`2ML = 152`

And divide. Therefore:

`ML = 76\text{ feet}`

In conclusion, ML measures 76 feet.
