Explanation:

Statements and reasons

  • ML ║ JK >> Given
  • ∠MLJ ≅ ∠KJL >> Same side interior angles are congruent
  • ∠LMK ≅ ∠JKM >> Same side interior angles are congruent
  • ΔMLN ~ ΔKJN >> AA similarity postulate
  • MN / NK = LN / NJ >> Corresponding parts of similar triangles have same ratio
