Answer:

KL = 11.9 approximately

Explanation:

It is stated that the two quadrilaterals are similar

if they are similar then their side lengths are proportional

So we can use that to find KL

JG/NK = GH/KL

(52.5)/17=37/KL cross multiply expressions

52.5*KL = 629 divide both sides by 52.5

KL = 11.9 approximately
