Question

the following shapes are similar. set up a proportion, then solve for the missing part(s

? = type your answer...

Explanation:

Step1: Set up the proportion

Since the triangles are similar, the ratios of corresponding sides are equal. Let \( KJ = x \).
We have the proportion \(\frac{28}{42}=\frac{x}{33}\)

Step2: Cross - multiply

Cross - multiplying gives \(42x=28\times33\)

Step3: Solve for \(x\)

First, calculate \(28\times33 = 924\). Then \(x=\frac{924}{42}\)
\(x = 22\)

Answer:

\(22\)
