Answer:


NO\approx 15.1

Explanation:

In similar figures, the corresponding sides will always be proportional to each other.

We know that quadrilateral HIJK is similar to LMNO. This means that:


\displaystyle (KH)/(OL)=(JK)/(NO)

By substitution:


\displaystyle (13)/(49)=(4)/(NO)

Solve for NO. Cross-multiply:


13NO=196

Therefore:


\displaystyle NO=(196)/(13)\approx15.1
