The figure shows three right triangles. Triangles JKM, KLM, and JLK are similar. Theorem: If two triangles are similar, the corresponding sides are in proportion. Figure shows triangle JKL with right angle at K. Segment JK is 6 and segment KL is 8. Point M is on segment JL and angles KMJ and KML are right angles. Using the given theorem, which two statements help to prove that if segment JL is x, then x2 = 100? Segment JL • segment JM = 64 Segment JL • segment ML = 48 Segment JL • segment JM = 48 Segment JL • segment ML = 36 Segment JL • segment JM = 64 Segment JL • segment ML = 36 Segment JL • segment JM = 36 Segment JL • segment ML = 64
