20

1) Segment Addition Postulate. Let's draw this Line Segment to better understand this

The length of KM is going to be the sum of KL and LM.

2) Since L belongs to the Line Segment KM, and those Line segments are measured as 11 and 9 we can write:

KM = KL +LM

KM =11+9

KM =20

Therefore, KM measures 20.
