Answer:

MO/KO = NO/LO

5/10 = 3/LO

5/10 = 3/x

Explanation:

Since KLO and MNO are similar, that means the corresponding sides share a common proportion:

Note how corresponding sides MO and KO are given measurements, that means we can find the common proportion by dividing MO/KO (which is 5/10). Knowing the proportion between the corresponding sides between MO and KO, we can find LO by finding its corresponding side and setting up a proportion. LO's corresponding side is NO (with a measurement of 3):

5/10 = 3/LO

Other options also work:

MO/KO = NO/LO since MO = 5 units, KO = 10 units, & NO = 3 units

5/10 = 3/x since any value can be set to a variable, LO = x
