Answer:
D. 12.5
Explanation:
You can notice that ∠JMK and ∠JML are similar triangles.
That means that JM (from triangle on the left) is similar to KM (from triangle of the right)- the ratio between these must be:
, that means that we can multiple KM (from triangle on the right) by this ratio to get ML (from triangle on the right).
![6 * (6)/(8)=(36)/(8)=4.5](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/college/iv215dj7rr70nej4vli9dmvzs5o59h2mn7.png)
Now we add JM to ML to to get JL - so 8 + 4.5 = 12.5
