Answer:

47.1

Explanation:

We know side LM corresponds with side OP with a factor of some number. The value of side LM is 8, and the value of side OP is 29. If we divide the two numbers, we will find the scale factor of which triangle NOP is larger than KLM. 29/8 simplifies to 3.625. Now, to find the value of side PN, we must find the side it corresponds to on triangle KLM. Because K corresponds with N, and M corresponds with P, we know the side that PN corresponds with on triangle KLM is side KM. Side KM has a value of 13, so side PN must be 3.625 times larger than 13.

13 times 3.625 = 47.125. The question says to round to the nearest tenth, so the answer would be 47.1
