Question

Find the value of w.

Answer 1

Answer:

w = 3.2 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

$\frac{KJ}{KH}$ = $\frac{LJ}{IH}$ , that is

$\frac{w}{8}$ = $\frac{3.4}{8.5}$ ( cross- multiply )

8.5w = 27.2 ( divide both sides by 8.5 )

w = 3.2 m
