Answer:

a. x = 22

b. Perimeter = 100

Explanation:

a. Based on the proportionality theorem, we have the following:

(2x - 4)/8 = (36 - 6)/6

(2x - 4)/8 = 30/6

(2x - 4)/8 = 5

Cross multiply

2x - 4 = 8*5

2x - 4 = 40

2x = 40 + 4

2x = 44

x = 44/2

x = 22

b. Perimeter of ∆JKL = KJ + KL + JL

KJ = 2x - 4 + 8

Plug in the value of x

KJ = 2(22) - 4 + 8

KJ = 44 - 4 + 8 = 48

KL = 36

JL = 16

Perimeter = 48 + 36 + 16

Perimeter = 100
