Triangle HIJ is similar to triangle KLM. Find the measure of side MK. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer:
[tex]MK\approx 87.7[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
By definition, similar polygons have corresponding sides in a constant proportion. Therefore, we can set up the following proportion (ratio of corresponding sides) to solve for [tex]MK[/tex]:
[tex]\frac{20}{13}=\frac{MK}{57},\\MK=\frac{57\cdot 20}{13}\approx \boxed{87.7}[/tex]
Answer:
87.7
Step-by-step explanation:
Like stated previously similar triangle have side lengths with common ratios
*Create a proportionality to solve for MK*
57/13 = MK / 20
Now solve for MK
Multiply each side by 20
57/13 * 20 = 87.7 ( rounded )
MK/20 * 20 = MK
We're left with MK = 87.7
