Solution
\[\text{In} \bigtriangleup \text{LNM}, \]
\[\frac{\text{LT}}{\text{NT}} = \frac{\text{LM}}{\text{NM}} \left( \text{ By angle bisector theorem } \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{\text{LT}}{8} = \frac{6}{10}\]
\[\Rightarrow \text{LT} = \frac{8 \times 6}{10}\]
\[ = 4 . 8\]
Hence, the measure of LT is 4.8.
