Question

Triangle JKL is similar to triangle MNO. Find the measure of side OM. Figures are not drawn to scale. ​

Answer 1

16.8

Explanation:

Because 2 to 8.4 is a scale factor of 1:4.2, you must solve 4*4.2. 4*4.2=16.8, so side OM is 16.8.

Answer 2

16.8 is the measurement of OM

Explanation:

In the JKL triangle the line LK is measured by 2 while the LJ is 4 the measurement is doubled and it is stated that JKL and MNO have the same measurement therefore the pattern can be seen in the traingle JKL.
