Question

Please help with this math problem! :)

Answer 1

x = 4.8 , y = 4

Explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

`(KJ)/(NP)` =
`(KL)/(NM)` , substitute values

`(x)/(3)` =
`(8)/(5)` ( cross- multiply )

5x = 24 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x = 4.8

and

`(JL)/(PM)` =
`(KL)/(NM)` , that is

`(6.4)/(y)` =
`(8)/(5)` ( cross- multiply )

8y = 32 ( divide both sides by 8 )

y = 4
