Expert Solution
Step 1

Given that, in KLM, the measure of M=90°, the sides KM = 48, LK = 73, and ML = 55. 

From the given information, it is observed that the triangle KLM is a right angle triangle.

The right angle triangle formed has an hypotenuse , opposite and an adjacent side. 

Use the given information and draw a right angle triangle as follows.
