Answer:

x = 3 units (RS)

Explanation:

  • Rectangle JKLM is similar to rectangle PQRS. Find the side of RS

similar means that it has sides in proportion, and with a proportion between the corresponding sides we find "X"

KJ : QP = LM : RS

4 : 2 = 6 : x

x = 2 × 6 : 4

x = 12 : 4

x = 3 units (RS)
