Question

Points K, L and M are collinear such that, d(K, L) = 15, d(L, M) = 26 find d(K, M).​

Answer 1

$\sf\huge\bold{Answer:}$

When are three points collinear point ?

Three points are said to be collinear if they all lie on the same straight line.

Given :

Points K, L and M are collinear

d(K, L) = 15

d(L, M) = 26

To find :

d(K, M)

Solution :

From figure,

⟶ d(K, M) = d(K, L) + d(L, M)

⟶d(K, M) = 15+26

⟶d(K, M) = 41 units.

Hence,

d(K, M) = 41 units.

$\fbox{Note :}$ K,L,M are labelled respectively on the line (collinear points) based on the question. They can't be mentioned as KML or MKL ..

Answer 2

Answer:

Points K, L and M are collinear such that, d(K, L) = 15, d(L, M) = 26 find d(K, M).
