In order to solve the equation, set up a proportion. Use the similar sides together!

1. 16/8 = x/20.... Similar sides are in one ratio and they equal another ratio...."x" represents the side of VS

2.Solve for "x" by cross multiplying: 8x = 320

3. Divide by 8 to find "x": x = 40

Side VS equals 40. Hope this helped :)

Question 3 of 10 A Assume EFG = JKL. If mLJ = 90°, mL K = 26°, and m&lt; L = 64°, what is the measure of &lt; E?
kumpel [21]

The measure of angle E will be 90 degrees as well.

Assume EFG = JKL.

If mLJ = 90°, mL K = 26°, and m< L = 64°,

<h3>What is the congruent triangle?</h3>

Two triangles are said to be congruent if the length of the sides is equal, a measure of the angles are equal and they can be superimposed.

We have been given an image of two congruent triangles.

Since, EFG = JKL

therefore, the corresponding angles will be congruent.

m < J = 90° = m< E = 90

By congruence measure of angle, J will be equal to the measure of angle E.

Hence, The measure of angle E will be 90 degrees as well.
