  KM = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The point of the segment addition postulate is that the combined length of segments laid end-to-end is the sum of their individual lengths.*

  KL +LM = KM

  (5x +1) +(3x +3) = 5x +4

  8x +4 = 5x +4 . . . .simplify

  3x = 0 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 5x+4

  x = 0 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

Then the length of KM is ...

  KM = 5x +4 = 5·0 +4 = 0 +4

  KM = 4

* Sometimes it seems that geometrical theorems simply state the obvious. Some interesting math arises from systems of geometry in which this is not true. We usually don't study those in high school.

step-by-step explanation:

its 512 because parenthesis and to the 2nd power is 512 so it will be 512

i would say c
