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
