You can put this solution on YOUR website!
This may depend on Segment Addition Postulate. You have line KM and there is L between K and M. This allows you to know that KL + LM = KM.
From that, you can solve for LM merely by subtracting KL from both sides of the equation. You HAVE the values needed to compute LM.
