I really need this test done and I need help with question

Answer 1

Given:

$\text{ABCD}\approx JKLM$

To find the value of x:

Since the figure ABCD and JKLM are similar.

So, the corresponding sides are proportional.

That is,

$\begin{gathered} \frac{AB}{JK}=\frac{BC}{KL} \\ \frac{6}{8}=\frac{18}{x} \\ x=18\times\frac{8}{6} \\ x=24 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the value of x is 24.
