Question

Triangle JKL and Triangle MNO are similar triangles. What is the measure of side LJ?

Answer 1

LJ measures 48

since they are similar they need to have the same ratio

14/3.5= x/12

3.5x=14x12

3.5x = 168

x= 168/3.5

x=48

14/3.5= 4 48/12 =4

Answer 2

|OM| / |MN| = |LJ| /|JK|

12 / 3.5 = x /14

x = (12*14)/3.5 = 48
x=48
|LJ| = 48 cm
