Question

Triangle HIJ is similar to triangle KLM. Find the measure of side LM. Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary. Figures are not drawn to scale.

Answer 1

Given the following question:

We know the two triangles are similar

We also have the bases of the two triangles which means we can find how bigger the second triangle is, compared to the first triangle.

`\begin{gathered} 5*3.6=18 \\ 7*3.6=25.2 \\ 25.2\text{ is already rounded to the nearest tenth} \\ LM=25.2 \end{gathered}`
