Question

What is the length of if ?

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

Answer 1

it's B

Explanation:

Since ∆ HBA & ∆HKJ are similar,

HB/HA = HK/HJ

3/5.25 = 8/HJ

3HJ/5.25 = 8

3HJ = 42

HJ = 14 in.

AJ = 14 - 5.25

AJ = 8.75 in.

Answer 2

A=8.75 in.

Explanation:

Since ∆ HBA & ∆HKJ are similar,

HB/HA = HK/HJ

3/5.25 = 8/HJ

3HJ/5.25 = 8

3HJ = 42

HJ = 14 in.

AJ = 14 - 5.25

AJ = 8.75 in.

Therefore

A=8.75 in.

I hope this helped you.
