Question

Quadrilateral IJKL is similar to quadrilateral MNOP. Find the measure of side PM.Figures are not drawn to scale.

Answer 1

with the following data given,

LI = 3

LK = 4

PO = 14.4

PM =?

let PM = x

so,

3/4 = x/14.4

cross multiply

4x = 14.4 X 3

4x = 43.2

divide both sides by 4

4x/4 = 43.2/4

x = 43.2/4

x = 10.8

therefore, PM = 10.8
