Question

Unproctored Placement ASThe quadrilaterals JKLM and PQRS are similar.Find the length x of PQ.JM=5, PS=4.5, JK=3.35K4.5PheHO1.8

Answer 1

Given that the quadrilaterals are similar, we know that:

$\frac{JM}{JK}=\frac{PS}{PQ}.$

Substituting the given values, we get:

$\frac{5}{4.5}=\frac{3}{x}.$

Solving the above equation for x, we get:

$\begin{gathered} 5x=3(4.5), \\ x=\frac{3(4.5)}{5}. \end{gathered}$

Simplifying the above result, we get:

$x=2.7$

Answer:

$x=2.7$
