Answer: RK = 4, BC = 6

Explanation:

In a similar triangle, the ratios of corresponding sides are the same. Thus, because of sides MK and AC, the triangles have a ratio of 6/9, or 2/3. Thus, you can determine that 2/3(4x+2)=2x+2.

Distribute

8/3x + 4/3 = 2x + 2

Subtract 2x

2/3x + 4/3 = 2

Subtract 4/3

2/3x=2/3

Divide by 2/3

x = 1

Then, simply plug-in 1 for x to get that RK is 4 and BC is 6

Hope it helps <3

Answer:

RK: 4 and BC: 6

Explanation:

SImilar triangles

find unknown / know sides

Which means (2x+2)/6 = (4x+2)/9

(X+1)/3 = (4x+2)/9

Multiply 9 to both sides

9/3 (x+1) = (4x+2)

3x+3 = 4x+2

1 = x
