KM is 80 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Line a is a perpendicular bisector of line segment K M. It intersects line segment K M at point L
=> LN ⊥ KM
& L is mid point of KM
=> KL = LM
KM = KL + LM
=> KM = 2 KL
=> KM = 2(6x + 4)
=> KM = 12x + 8
now comparing ΔKLN & ΔMLN
KL = ML
LN = LN ( common)
∠KLN = ∠MLN = 90°
=> ΔKLN ≅ ΔMLN
=> KN = LN
=> 9x - 5 = 7x + 7
=> 2x = 12
=> x = 6
KM = 12x + 8 = 12*6 + 8 = 80
KM is 80 units
