This passage ". . . let K be the foot of the altitude from L to MN."
is incorrect usage of Math terms.
I don't want to guess what you were going to express.
I think it would be better if you fix this passage on your own.
After fixing, you can re-post your problem to the forum again.
Happy fixing and re-posting (!)
