Find MO

To do this, we make use of triangle 2 because it is similar to MNO.

To calculate MNO, we make use of the following equivalent ratios.

$MN : MO = 10:8.2$

Express as fraction

$\frac{MO}{MN} = \frac{8,2}{10}$

$\frac{MO}{MN} = 0.82$

Substitute $MN =8$

$\frac{MO}{8} = 0.82$

Solve for MO

$MO = 8 * 0.82$

$MO = 4.92$
