Question

What is the length of if ?

8 in.
8.75 in.
10.25 in.
14 in.

Answer 1

Diagram attached

AJ = 8.75 in.

Explanation:

Since triangles HBA & HKJ are similar,

BH/AH = KH/JH

3 in /5.25 in = 8 in /JH

JH = 14 in

JA = JH - AH = JH - 5.25 in = 8.75 in

HJ = 14 in.

AJ = 14 in - 5.25 in

AJ = 8.75 in.
