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:


(6)/(8), 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

Now we add JM to ML to to get JL - so 8 + 4.5 = 12.5
