Answer: 24 units
Step-by-step explanation:
MO, NO and LO are radii.
If MO = 13, THEN LO = NO = 13
IF NO = 13 and NP = 8, THEREFORE,
PO = NO - NP
PO = 13 - 8 = 5
USING PYTHAGORAS, WE CAN FIND MP:
MP = Sqrt(MO^2 - PO^2)
MP = sqrt(13^2 - 5^2)
MP = sqrt(169 - 25)
MP = sqrt(144)
MP = 12 units
P is the midpoint of Segment ML,
THEREFORE,
MP = PL
ML = MP + PL
ML = 12 + 12
ML = 24 units
