    Three parallel lines xx, yy and zz are cut by two transversals mm and nn. Transversal mm cuts the lines xx, yy, zz at PP, QQ, RR respectively; and Transversal nn cuts the lines xx, yy, zz at LL, MM, NN respectively. If PQ=3PQ = 3 cm, QR=9QR = 9 cm and MN=10.5MN = 10.5 cm, then what is the length of LMLM ?
