Answer 2

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{KL = 17}$

Step-by-step explanation:

If L lies on the line segment KM. It means that:

K_____?__________L___2__M

|<--------------------19------------------->|

Given that:

LM = 2

KM = 19

So,

KM = KL + LM

19 = KL + 2

Subtracting 2 to both sides

KL = 19-2

KL = 17
