Answer:

B) 8

Explanation:

In this question, KLMN ~ PQRS. This means they are similar shapes.

From the image, we could denote that:

KL ~ PQ

LM ~ QR

Given that:

KL = 12

PQ = 30

QR = 20

LM = x

To find x, let's use tge expression:

`(KL)/(PQ) = (LM)/(QR)`

`= (12)/(30) = (x)/(20)`

Cross multiplying, we have:

12 * 20 = 30x

240 = 30x

To find x, let's divide both sides by 30.

`(240)/(30) = (30x)/(30)`

8 = x

x = 8

The correct option is option B.
