Algebra.Com's Answer #517884 by jim_thompson5910(35256)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! KL+LM = KM is not given, but it's actually true because of the segment addition postulate.\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Also, I would add on \"of Equality\" to \"Division Property\". Other than that, everything else looks correct. \n" ); document.write( " |
