type your answer and then click or tap done.
which line segment is parallel to lm?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the mid - segment theorem

The mid - segment of a triangle is parallel to the third side of the triangle. In triangle \(KLM\), \(YX\) is a mid - segment.

Step2: Identify the parallel side

Since \(Y\) is the mid - point of \(KM\) and \(X\) is the mid - point of \(KL\), by the mid - segment theorem of a triangle, the line segment \(YX\) is parallel to \(LM\).

Answer:

\(YX\)
