Verified Answer :

the answer is 12 because hk crosses hl and L is right in the middle of hk which equals 24 and half 24 equals 12 
since l is half of hk the answer has to be 12

Answer:

(B) 12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

It can be seen from the figure that HK is the diameter of the circle, also itis given that diameter=HK=24 inches.

Now, we have to determine the length of HL,which is the radius of the given circle.

Since, \(HL=\frac{HK}{2}\) (Half of the diameter)

⇒\(HL=\frac{24}{2}\)

⇒\(HL=12inches\)

Therefore, the length of HL is 12 inches.
