Question

ABCD ~ JKLM. Write a proportion containing BC and JM

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{BC}{AD} = \frac{KL}{JM}$

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that ABCD ~ JKLM.

When two polygons are in similar, their respective sides are in proportion as well.

We need to include BC and JM.

BC is similar to KL of the other figure, whereas JM is similar to AD as well.

Therefore,

$\frac{BC}{AD} = \frac{KL}{JM}$

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{BC}{KL}$ = $\frac{AD}{JM}$

Step-by-step explanation:

since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are in proportion , that is

$\frac{BC}{KL}$ = $\frac{AD}{JM}$
