@KingGeorge @hoblos help? I could really use some

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

This is going to be a similar triangles problem. If you look at it for a bit, you find that side NL is similar to side JL. Likewise, LM is similar to KL. This allows you to set up a ratio \[\frac{24}{9}=\frac{NL}{24}\]Can you solve for NL?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think so give me a sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@KingGeorge I got 64!

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

Looks perfect to me.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and MN is 80?

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

Bingo. Good job.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I did 30x24= 720 divided by 9 and got 80.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
