Answer:
[tex]\huge\boxed{KM = 11}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
According to secant - secant theorem:
(MK)(ML) = (MR)(MN)
Where
MK = 7 + x+ 2 = x + 9
ML = 7
MR = 8 + 6 = 14
MN = 6
=> (x+9)(7)= (14)(6)
=> 7x + 63 = 84
Subtracting both sides by 63
=> 7x = 84 - 63
=> 7x = 21
Dividing both sides by 7
=> x = 3
Now,
KM = x + 9
KM = 3 + 9
KM = 11
