Question

Who knows how to do this I TRULY NEED HELP

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

It's given in the question that both the traingles JCD & JKL are similar. So their ratio of corresponding similar sides will be proportional to each other.

$= > \frac{JD}{JL} = \frac{JC}{JK} = \frac{DC}{LK}$

$= > \frac{15}{50} = \frac{8 + x}{60} = \frac{DC}{LK}$

$= > \frac{15}{50} = \frac{8 + x}{60}$

$= > 8 + x = \frac{15 \times 60}{50} = 18$

$= > x = 18 - 8 = 10$
