Question

f figure ABDC ~ figure JKLM, which of the following completes this proportion?
AB/CD = JK/?

Answer 1

A ML
B KL
C MK

Answer 2

which side is correspondent to CD ?

Answer 3

ML right

Answer 4

Yeah

Answer 5

We know the figure are some quadrilaterals with equal angles and parallel sides, rectangles to be more specific.

We know that similar figures maintain their side to side ratios. So AB / CD would be the same as saying JK/ the side that's in the same position as CD in the larger triangle.

Can you tell me which side that would be? @cutiexoxo1

Answer 6

its ML

Answer 7

So : \(\cfrac{AB}{CD} = \cfrac{JK}{\textbf{correspondent side to CD}}\)

Answer 8

that is it @cutiexoxo1 .. \(\cfrac{AB}{CD} = \cfrac{JK}{ML}\)

Answer 9

@cutiexoxo1 Sorry I meant to say rectangle in place of the word triangle in the second paragraph of my previous reply.

Answer 10

Correct. It is ML.

Answer 11

is the answer ML

Answer 12

yes @cutiexoxo1 \(\textbf{good work}\)
