Question

Find the missing length. The triangles are similar.

Answer 1

RK= 13 SK= 12

Explanation

First, we find the missing length of RK using the given information: 65-52=13

Then we divide 65 by 13 to get a scale factor: 65/13=5

(To check, we multipuly: 13*5=65)

We then apply the scale factor to MK to find SK: 60/5=12

(To check we multipuly: 5*12=60)

We now have our answers: RK:13, SK:12
