Answer:
The correct option is E. The distance from point N to LM in the given figure is 6.8 units.
Explanation:
In the given figure the line NO is perpendicular to the line LM. The length of line segments are NL=7.6 units, NO=6.8 units and NM=9.7 units.
When we talk about the distance from a point to a line, then we consider the perpendicular distance between point and line.
Here, we have to find the distance from point N to LM.
From the given figure it is clear that the perpendicular distance between the point N and line LM is 6.8 units. So, the distance from point N to LM in the given figure is 6.8 units.
Therefore the correct option is E.
