\\(\dfrac{jk}{kl} = \dfrac{\\_\\_\\_}{\\_\\_\\_}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Identify Similar Triangles

From the diagram, \( NM \parallel JK \) (indicated by the arrows), so \( \triangle NML \sim \triangle JKL \) by the Basic Proportionality Theorem (AA similarity, as vertical angles at \( L \) are equal and alternate interior angles are equal due to parallel lines).

Step2: Apply Proportionality of Similar Triangles

In similar triangles, the ratios of corresponding sides are equal. For \( \triangle NML \) and \( \triangle JKL \), the corresponding sides are \( JK \) and \( NM \), \( KL \) and \( ML \). So, \( \frac{JK}{KL}=\frac{NM}{ML} \).

Answer:

\(\frac{JK}{KL} = \frac{NM}{ML}\) (or other valid corresponding sides from similar triangles, but \( NM \) and \( ML \) are a common correct pair here)
