Question

Find PR

KL is 28
KM is 18
PT is 15.75

Answer 1

PR = 24.5

Explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

`(KL)/(PR)` =
`(KM)/(PT)`, that is

`(28)/(PR)` =
`(18)/(15.75)` ( cross- multiply )

18PR = 28 × 15.75 = 441 ( divide both sides by 18 )

PR = 24. 5
