Answer:

  • OP = 16

Explanation:

  • Parallel lines cut the transversals into proportional segments.
  • ΔAPO ~ ΔBKO by SAS

Ratio of corresponding sides are same in similar figures:

  • (x + 6)/x = 8/5
  • 8x = 5(x + 6)
  • 8x = 5x + 30
  • 3x = 30
  • x = 10

Find OP:

  • OP = x + 6 = 10 + 6 = 16
