Answer 1

Answer:

37.2

Step-by-step explanation:

when you turn the small triangle LMN to its right angle to cover the right angle of KLM, you find that they are similar triangles.

therefore the corresponding side lengths are at the same ratio.

LM/KM = MN/LN

LM = 24

MN = 13

we can get LN via Pythagoras of the small triangle

LN² + MN² = LM²

LN² + 13² = 24²

LN² = 24² - 13² = 576 - 169 = 407

LN = sqrt(407) = 20.174241

now back to our main problem

24/KM = 13/sqrt(407)

24×sqrt(407)/13 = KM = 37.2
