So there are two triangles here: Smaller one (ADE) and bigger one (ABC) and they both are similar.
So you can use proportions here.
AB / AC = AD / AE
AB = AD + DB = 6 + 1 = 7
AC = AE + 3
AD = 6
So plug in these values:
AB / AC = AD / AE becomes
7 / (AE + 3) = 6 / AE
Now do the cross multiply:
7 AE = 6 (AE + 3)
Now solve for AE:
7AE = 6AE + 18
AE = 18

Step-by-step explanation:
You need to set up a proportion
Let x = NK
7/13 = x/56 Notice that the longest side of the small trapezoid is the denominator of the fraction on the left. That means that the longest side of the large trapezoid must also be the denominator of that fraction on the right.
Cross multiply
13x = 7*56 Combine the right
13x = 392 Divide by 13
x = 392/13
x = 30.15
NK = 30.15
Answer:
Each tray has 5 colours and one of the colour on the tray is purple. Hence 1/5 of the colours on the tray is purple and thus 1/5 of the colours on the 20 trays is purple. The fraction of colours on the trays will not change. If written out logically, 20 purples out of 100 colours in total on the trays will also given the fraction 1/5.
