The quadilateral HIJK is similar to quadilateral LMNO, means ratio of corresponding sides are equal. So,


(KH)/(OL)=(JI)/(MN)

Substitute the length of sides in the equation to determine the length of side MN.


\begin{gathered} (13)/(50)=(21)/(MN) \\ MN=21\cdot(50)/(13) \\ =80.76 \\ \approx80.8 \end{gathered}

So length of MN is 80.8.
