Question

The two triangles are similar. What is the value for the ? ? Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

L 28 35° K J ? R 42 35° P 33​

Answer 1

KJ = 22

Explanation:

From the given diagram, since the figure are similar we can compare their sides.

So that,

`(JL)/(PR)` =
`(JK)/(PQ)`

Let KJ be represented by x. But;

JL = 28, PR = 42 and PQ = 33

Thus,

`(28)/(42)` =
`(x)/(33)`

x =
`(28*33)/(42)`

=
`(924)/(42)`

= 22

x = 22

The n,

KJ = 22
