Question

Quadrilateral FGHI is similar to quadrilateral JKLM. Find the measure of side JK

Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Answer 1

Heyyyy!!

The answer is 66.9

please read the explanation... it will help... I promise

Explanation:

Okay... Here we go...

The context mentions that the two quadrilaterals are similar... meaning their sides are proportional...

So... you basically have to find the scale factor...

(the math itself is easier than the explanation...

51/16 = 3.1875 (that is the number we multiplied the sides of quadrilateral FGHI to get quadrilateral JKLM...

so to get side JK all you have to do is multiply that scale factor by side FG... which after the use of a calculator results in 66.9 (i rounded, and used a calculator... lol)

but yeah... i hope this helps...
