Question

Who knows how to do this I TRULY NEED HELP

Answer 1

x = 10

Explanation:

It's given in the question that both the traingles JCD & JKL are similar. So their ratio of corresponding similar sides will be proportional to each other.

`= > (JD)/(JL) = (JC)/(JK) = (DC)/(LK)`

`= > (15)/(50) = (8 + x)/(60) = (DC)/(LK)`

`= > (15)/(50) = (8 + x)/(60)`

`= > 8 + x = (15 * 60)/(50) = 18`

`= > x = 18 - 8 = 10`
