In a rhombus, the diagonals bisect each other at right angles. This means that diagonal \( MO \) divides rhombus \( LMNO \) into four right triangles.
Given:
- \( LO = 5 \) units (from vertex \( L \) to vertex \( O \))
- \( MO = 8 \) units (the entire length of diagonal \( MO \))
Since diagonal \( MO \) is bisected at point \( O \), we have:
\[
MO = 8 \quad \Rightarrow \quad MO \text{ from } M \text{ to } O = 4 \text{ units} \quad (MO = 2 \cdot MO_O)
\]
Now we have:
\[
LO = 5 \quad \text{ and } \quad MO_O = 4
\]
We can use the Pythagorean theorem in triangle \( LOM \):
\[
LM^2 = LO^2 + MO_O^2
\]
\[
LM^2 = 5^2 + 4^2
\]
\[
LM^2 = 25 + 16
\]
\[
LM^2 = 41
\]
\[
LM = \sqrt{41}
\]
Thus, the unit length of \( LM \) is:
\[
LM = \sqrt{41} \text{ units} \approx 6.4 \text{ units}
\]
If you need the value to a specific decimal or simplified form, it remains √41 as the exact value.

Apologies for any confusion in my previous response. Let's clarify the calculations and find the exact value of \( LM \).
We started with the information provided:
1. \( LO = 5 \) units
2. \( MO = 8 \) units (the entire diagonal, thus divided into two equal segments: \( MO_M = 4 \) units and \( MO_O = 4 \) units because the diagonals bisect each other).
In triangle \( LOM \), we can apply the Pythagorean theorem:
\[
LM^2 = LO^2 + MO_M^2
\]
Substituting in the known lengths:
\[
LM^2 = 5^2 + 4^2
\]
\[
LM^2 = 25 + 16
\]
\[
LM^2 = 41
\]
To find \( LM \), we take the square root:
\[
LM = \sqrt{41}
\]
The approximate decimal value of \( \sqrt{41} \) is about \( 6.4 \), but if you are looking for a simple format, the exact value is:
\[
LM = \sqrt{41} \text{ units}
\]
Please let me know if this aligns with your expectations!

I apologize for any misunderstanding and appreciate your patience. Let's carefully reassess the problem regarding the rhombus LMNO to ensure that we find the correct length of \( LM \):
### Given:
- \( LO = 5 \) units (one half of diagonal \( LN \))
- \( MO = 8 \) units (full length of diagonal \( MO \))
### Bisecting the Diagonal:
Since \( MO \) is a diagonal, it is bisected into two equal halves at point \( O \):
- Each half of \( MO \) (let's denote half as \( MO_O \)) will be:
\[
MO_O = \frac{MO}{2} = \frac{8}{2} = 4 \text{ units}
\]
### Formation of Right Triangle:
In triangle \( LOM \):
- One leg is \( LO = 5 \) units,
- The other leg is \( MO_O = 4 \) units.
### Applying the Pythagorean Theorem:
\[
LM^2 = LO^2 + MO_O^2
\]
\[
LM^2 = 5^2 + 4^2
\]
\[
LM^2 = 25 + 16
\]
\[
LM^2 = 41
\]
\[
LM = \sqrt{41}
\]
### Result:
Thus, the length of \( LM \) is indeed \( \sqrt{41} \) units.
If there was a misunderstanding in the question or the figures were misinterpreted, please clarify and I will help resolve that accurately!

### Given:
- \( LO = 5 \) units
- \( MO = 8 \) units (this is the length of diagonal \( MO \))
### Understanding the Diagonals of a Rhombus:
1. **Diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles.**
2. If \( MO = 8 \), then the lengths of the two halves of diagonal \( MO \) are:
\[
OM = \frac{MO}{2} = \frac{8}{2} = 4 \text{ units}
\]
### Now, focusing on triangle \( LOM \):
- Use the Pythagorean theorem:
\[
LM^2 = LO^2 + OM^2
\]
Substituting the known lengths, we calculate:
\[
LM^2 = 5^2 + 4^2 \\
LM^2 = 25 + 16 \\
LM^2 = 41
\]
Taking the square root to find \( LM \):
\[
LM = \sqrt{41} \text{ units}
\]
### Summary:
The length of \( LM \) is indeed:
\[
LM = \sqrt{41} \text{ units} \approx 6.4 \text{ units}

\[
OM = \frac{MO}{2} = \frac{8}{2} = 4 \text{ units}
\]
### Using the Pythagorean Theorem in Triangle \( LOM \):
Here, we need to find \( LM \):
- \( LO = 5 \) units (one side of the rhombus)
- \( OM = 4 \) units (half of the diagonal)
By the Pythagorean theorem:
\[
LM^2 = LO^2 + OM^2

I apologize for any frustration I may have caused. Let me carefully reconsider the information you've provided.
### Summary of Given Information:
- **Rhombus LMNO**
- \( LO = 5 \) units (one side of the rhombus)
- \( MO = 8 \) units (the diagonal)
### Properties of a Rhombus:
1. The diagonals bisect each other at right angles.
2. All sides of a rhombus are equal.
### Reanalyzing the Problem:
Since you are looking for the length of \( LM \), since it is a rhombus, it is equal to the other sides, thus \( LM = LO \).
\[
LM = LO = 5 \text{ units}
\]
### Conclusion:
So, the length of \( LM \) is **5 units**. Thank you for your patience, and I sincerely apologize for not reaching the correct conclusion earlier. Please let me know if you have any further questions or if there's anything else you'd like to clarify!
