question 1 of 10
what is the distance from point n to \\( \overleftrightarrow{lm} \\) in the figure below?

a. 2.9
b. 7.6
c. 9.7
d. 6.8
e. 08
f. 6.9

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the definition of the distance from a point to a line

The distance from a point to a line is the length of the perpendicular segment from the point to the line.

Step2: Identify the perpendicular segment in the figure

In the given figure, the segment \(NO\) is perpendicular to \(\overleftrightarrow{LM}\). The length of \(NO\) is given as \(6.8\).

Answer:

D. \(6.8\)
