Answer:

The value of segment LM is 9x + 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the image below.

A perpendicular bisector is a line segment that bisects another line segment into two equal parts and is perpendicular to this line segment.

So from the diagram below we know:

KL = LM

line <em>a</em> is ⊥ to KM

∠NLK = 90°

Since the angle measure of ∠NKL is not provided we cannot determine the value of <em>x</em>.

So, the value of segment LM is 9x + 5.
