Sagot :
Answer:
m=16
Step-by-step explanation:
(6+6)/m=6/8
12/m=6/8
M=16
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
This triangle has been dialated; ILM is a dialated version of IJK. We know that dialations are by scale factors, and we also know the length of two corresponding sides.
IM is 6 m long, and IMK is 6+6 m long, so 12 m. So using simple ratios, we know the dialation factor from ILM to IJK is 2. The corresponding side for JK (m) is LM, which we know is 8 m. So side m is 16 because of the scale factor (2).
Maybe you thought we were solving for "m", as in a varriable all the sides are multiplied by, but I think that's just bad labeling. Hope this helps!
