Respuesta :

Answer:

JK ≈ 12.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the figures are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is

[tex]\frac{FI}{JM}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{FG}{JK}[/tex] , substitute values

[tex]\frac{59}{26}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{28}{JK}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

59 JK = 728 ( divide both sides by 59 )

JK ≈ 12.3 ( to the nearest tenth )
