Question

in the diagram below, $\triangle nml sim \triangle kmj$. find $h$.
write your answer as a whole number or a decimal. do not round.
$h = \square$ meters

Explanation:

Step1: Set up similarity proportion

$\frac{NM}{KM} = \frac{NL}{KJ}$

Step2: Substitute known values

$\frac{4}{8} = \frac{5}{h}$

Step3: Cross-multiply to solve for h

$4h = 8 \times 5$
$4h = 40$
$h = \frac{40}{4}$

Answer:

10 meters
