Question

The pentagons ABCDE and JKLMN are similar find the length x of JK

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the figures are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are in proportion, that is

$\frac{JK}{AB}$ = $\frac{KL}{BC}$ , substitute values

$\frac{x}{2}$ = $\frac{8}{4}$ = 2 ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )

x = 4

Answer 2

The second shape is double the first so you would do AB = 2 and then times by 2 as its double and you will get 4
answer = 4
