Question

Use the segment addition postulate to solve for the missing measurement

Answer 1

You are given the value of KL and LM. To find KM, simply add these two measurements:

KL + LM = KM

14 + 3 = 17

KM = 17

Answer 2

Answer: 17

Step-by-step explanation: The Segment Addition Postulate states that if L is between K and M, as shown here, then KL + LM = KM.

KL + LM = KM

Since the length of segment KL is 14 and the length

of segment LM is 3, we have 14 + 3, which is 17.
