Answer:

[tex]\boxed{\sf \ \ KM=10 \ \ }[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

let 's note JK = a, KL = b and KM = x

in JKL we can write

[tex]a^2+b^2=25^2[/tex]

in JMK

[tex]5^2+x^2=a^2[/tex]

in MLK

[tex]20^2+x^2=b^2[/tex]

So we can write

[tex]5^2 + x^2 + 20^2+x^2=a^2 + b^2=25^2\\\\<=> 2x^2= 625 - 400 -25=200\\\\<=> x^2=100\\\\<=>x=10[/tex]

hope this helps
