Explanation Given: The given similar triangles are JKL and MNP. The measure of the sides J K = 8 ft , M N = 6 ft and J L = 5 ft . The angle ∠ J = ∠ M = 50 ° and ∠ K = ∠ N = 18 ° . Procedure used: 1. Observe the given dimensions of the corresponding sides and compute a pair with known measures. 2. Pair the unknown side with its corresponding known side. 3. Established a direct proportion with the above obtained two pairs. 4. Solve the proportion. Calculation: In general, if the corresponding angles of the similar triangles are equal then their corresponding sides are directly proportional. Obtain the known pair as follows. Since ∠ J = ∠ M = 50 ° and ∠ K = ∠ N = 18 ° , the third angle of both triangles must be equal to each other. That is, ∠ L = ∠ P Then the sides opposite to ∠ L and ∠ P , J K ¯ and M N ¯ must be equal. So, J K ¯ = M N ¯ . The pair corresponds to J K ¯ and M N ¯ is 8 ft and 6 ft . Thus, the known pair is 8 ft and 6 ft . Now compute the other pair as follows. Since ∠ K = ∠ N = 18 ° , the sides that are opposite to this corresponding angles must be equal. From the given Figure, the sides opposite to ∠ K and ∠ N are observed to be J L ¯ and P M ¯ , respectively
