To solve this problem, all we need to do is just set up a proportion. The two shapes are similar, which means that they are the same shape, but different sizes. Using the wording/letter arrangement in the problem, we can figure out which side of one triangle corresponds to which side of the other triangle.

Triangle LMV (with segments LM, MV, and VL) is similar to triangle UTK (with segments UT, TK, and KU).

Corresponding pairs:

LM(x) : UT(39)

MV(30) : TK(65)

VL : KU

However, we need only be interested in the first two pairs. Here is the proportion with letters:

LM / UT = MV / TK

and as numbers:

x / 39 = 30 / 65

Solve for x:

x / 39 = 30 / 65

Cross multiply:

(x)(65) = (39)(30)

Simplify:

65x = 1170

Divide:

65x/65 = 1170 / 65

Simplify:

x = 18

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The length of side LM (x) in triangle LMV is 18 units.

Sally invests £8000 in a savings account. The account pays 2.8% compound interest per year work out the value of her investment
Alborosie

Answer: the value of her investment after 4 years is £8934.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining compound interest is expressed as

A = P(1+r/n)^nt

Where

A = total amount in the account at the end of t years

r represents the interest rate.

n represents the periodic interval at which it was compounded.

P represents the principal or initial amount invested.

t represents the duration of the investment in years.

From the information given,

P = 8000

r = 2.8% = 2.8/100 = 0.028

n = 1 because it was compounded once in a year.

t = 4 years

Therefore,

A = 8000(1+0.028/1)^1 × 4

A = 8000(1+0.028)^4

A = 8000(1.028)^4

A = £8934.3 to the the nearest penny
