Ok so first, you put the sides into a ratio. The question says that triangle GKNM is congruent to triangle VRPT. From this, we know that side GK is congruent to VR. So, we write that as a ratio. Also, we know that KN is congruent to RP. We also write that as a ratio. Then, using equations, we solve for x. But, we aren't done yet; the expression for side KN is 3x-2 and, we already know that x is equal to 4.4
So, we do 3*4.4-2 which is 11.2. Therefore, side KN is equal to 11./2Then, the expression for side RP is x+4. We already know that x is equal to 4.4. So, we do 4.4+4 which is 8.4. Therefore, side RP is equal to 8.4.
Oh, and the scale factor is 4:3 or 1.33 because you do 8.4/6.3 ( you can also do 11.2/8.4)
hope this helps ;)
