Use <em>CPCTC</em> and make ratios and proportionalities to find the value of segment PW:
If △WPJ∼△DNJ, then according to CPCTC, WP must be proportional to DN and PJ must be proportional to JN. Now, we can make a ratio:
Substitute the values that are given in the diagram.
DN=87.5
NJ=56
PJ=64
Solve for x. You can do it by cross-multiplication.
The measure of segment WP is 100 meters.
