Question

Line LR bisects MN at point L. Find the length of ML if MN = 152 ft.

Answer 1

Answer:

$ML = 76\text{ feet}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Line LR bisects MN at point L, by the definition of bisector:

$\overline{ML} \cong \overline{LN}$

We want to determine ML if MN measures 152 feet.

MN is the sum of ML and LN. Hence;

$ML + LN = MN$

Since ML = LN and MN = 152:

$ML + (ML) = (152)$

Simplify:

$2ML = 152$

And divide. Therefore:

$ML = 76\text{ feet}$

In conclusion, ML measures 76 feet.
