Question

Find the indicated side length.

Answer 1

Answer: KL = 5.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up the proportion, cross multiply, and solve for the missing side:

$\frac{JL}{GL} = \frac{KL}{HL}$

$\frac{4}{10} = \frac{KL}{8 + KL}$

 4(8 + KL) = 10(KL)

32 + 4KL = 10KL

32           = 6KL

$\frac{32}{6}=KL$

 KL = 16/3 = 5.3
