Find the missing segment in the attached image

The length of the missing segment is 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The figure above

Required

Determine the missing segment

Let the missing segment be represented with x

Given that, there exist parallel lines between the two triangles;

The relationship between the sides of the triangles is as follows;

Cross Multiply

Divide both sides by 20

Subtract 24 from both sides

Hence, the length of the missing segment is 36

step-by-step explanation:

given that there are two triangles j'k'l' and jkl>

the former is got by dilating the second one.

when drawn on a grid, (graph paper) coordinates of vertices of first triangle is

(6,12)j, (9,6)k and (12,9)l

side jk has length = distance between j and k

=

side j'k'=distance between j' and k'

=

ie j'k'l' has sides 1/3 of that of corresponding sides of jkl.

hence scale factor of 1/3 is used to get j'k'l'from jkl
