Question

Unproctored Placement ASThe quadrilaterals JKLM and PQRS are similar.Find the length x of PQ.JM=5, PS=4.5, JK=3.35K4.5PheHO1.8

Answer 1

Given that the quadrilaterals are similar, we know that:

`(JM)/(JK)=(PS)/(PQ).`

Substituting the given values, we get:

`(5)/(4.5)=(3)/(x).`

Solving the above equation for x, we get:

`\begin{gathered} 5x=3(4.5), \\ x=(3(4.5))/(5). \end{gathered}`

Simplifying the above result, we get:

`x=2.7`

Answer:

`x=2.7`
