Quadrilateral GHIJ is similar to quadrilateral KLMN Find the measure of side KL Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary class=


Answer :

The measure of side KL is 65.4 to the nearest tenth.

What is common ratio?

There will be a common ratio r between the two forms, such that a = b x r if the side on one shape is a and the side on the other shape is b. Therefore, to establish a similar ratio, just divide the length of one comparable side by the other: r = a / b.

We have the quadrilaterals, GHIJ is similar to KLMN.

That means, the common ratio is constant.

To find the common ratio:

There will be a common ratio r between the two forms, such that a = b x r if the side on one shape is a and the side on the other shape is b. Therefore, to establish a similar ratio, just divide the length of one comparable side by the other: r = a / b.

Side of GHIJ / Side of KLMN = k (let),

here we choose similar sides.

Substituting the value of sides to the formula,

48 / 11 = k

k = 4.363636

So, the length of KL = k x similar side of GHIJ

The length of KL = 4.363636 x 15

The length of KL = 65.4

Therefore, side KL = 65.4.
