Point L is on line segment KM. Given LM=11 and KL=4, determine the length KM.

Hey there! I'm happy to help.

Let's think of the line segment KM as a road. It starts at point K and ends at M. You start driving from point K and after 4 miles, you have reached point L. The segment KL is equal to 4 because the distance between K and L is 4.

From point L to point M, you drive 11 miles. You are now at the end of the road. We want to find out how long the road is.

From point K to point L, you drove for 4 miles.

Then, from L to M, you drove 11.

We combine these...

11+4=15

The length of KM is 15.

Have a wonderful day! :D

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b
