Question

Please help .. would be appreciated

Answer 1

x = 30

Explanation:

`\triangle JLK\sim\triangle PQR` (given)

`\therefore (JL)/(PQ)=(LK)/(QR)`

(corresponding sides of similar triangles)

`\therefore (20)/(x)=(22)/(33)`

`\therefore (20)/(x)=(2)/(3)`

`\therefore x=(20* 3)/(2)`

`\therefore x=(60)/(2)`

`\therefore x=30`

Or using scale factor:

Scale factor = 33/22 = 3/2

x = 20*3/2

x = 10*3

x = 30
