Answer 1

LJ = 13.12

Explanation:

given the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are in proportion, that is

`(LJ)/(ZX)` =
`(JK)/(XY)` ( substitute values )

`(LJ)/(8.2)` =
`(13.92)/(8.7)` ( cross- multiply )

8.7 × LJ = 8.2 × 13.92 = 114.144 ( divide both sides by 8.7 )

LJ =
`(114.144)/(8.7)` = 13.12
