Question

The quadrilaterals ABCD and JKLM are similar.
Find the length x of MJ.

Answer 1

x = 4.8

Explanation:

since the quadrilaterals are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are in proportion , that is

`(MJ)/(DA)` =
`(LM)/(CD)` ( substitute values )

`(x)/(6)` =
`(2.4)/(3)` ( cross- multiply )

3x = 6 × 2.4 = 14.4 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 4.8
