Question

Triangle JKL and triangle MNO are similar triangles. What is the measure of side OM?


6

3

2.5

1.25

Answer 1

triangle

Answer 2

set it up as a proportion.

Answer 3

@Joshuam1 . As the triangles are similar the sides would be set up in a ratio such that :
\(\cfrac{JK}{MN} = \cfrac{LJ}{OM}\)

Answer 4

You're given with \(JK = 5 \space \text{units}\) , \(MN = 2.5 \space \text{units}\) , \(LJ = 6 \space \text{units}\) and OM = n units

Answer 5

So you have now :
\(\cfrac{5}{2.5} = \cfrac{6}{OM}\)

Can you just do it now?
