Question

The figure shows three right triangles. Triangles JKM, KLM, and JLK are similar.

Theorem: If two triangles are similar, the corresponding sides are in proportion.



Using the given theorem, which two statements help to prove that if segment JL is x, then x2 = 100?

A. Segment JL x segment JM = 64
Segment JL x segment LM = 48

B.Segment JL x segment JM = 48
Segment JL x segment LM = 36

C.Segment JL x segment JM = 64
Segment JL x segment LM = 36

D.Segment JL x segment JM = 36
Segment JL x segment LM = 64
