Question:
HLI is shown. Line segment JK is drawn near point L to create
JLK. If
HLI ~
JLK by the SSS similarity theorem, then
is also equal to which ratio?
Answer:
Explanation:
Given
HLI ~
JLK
Required
Which other ratio equals
HLI ~
JLK implies that:
HL, IL and HI corresponds to JL, KL and JK respectively.
So, the possible ratios are:
HL : IL : HI = JL : KL : JK
Convert to fractions
So, from the list of options
is equivalent to
