1. Given the similar polygons, use proportion to find the value of each variable.
Triangles JKL~NML
JK=40. NM=16
KL=X. ML=14
LJ=45. LN= Y

Respuesta :

x= 40, y = 18

[tex]\frac{JK}{NM}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{KL}{ML}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{LJ}{LN}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{40}{16}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{16}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{45}{y}[/tex]

40*16 = 16*x

x= 40

40*y = 45*16

y = 18

In geometry, a polygon  may be a  plane figure that is described by a finite number of straight line segments connected to form a closed polygonal chain (or polygonal circuit). The bounded plane region, the bounding circuit, or  the 2  together,  could also be  called a polygon.The segments of a polygonal circuit are called its edges or sides. The points where two edges meet are the polygon's vertices (singular: vertex) or corners.  the inside  of a solid polygon is sometimes called its body. An n-gon  may be a  polygon with n sides; for example, a triangle  may be a  3-gon.

A simple polygon is one which does not intersect itself. Mathematicians are often concerned only with the bounding polygonal chains  of straightforward  polygons and they often define a polygon accordingly. A polygonal boundary  could also be  allowed to cross over itself, creating star polygons and other self-intersecting polygons.
