Question on: WAEC Mathematics - 2010
In the diagram, triangles HKL and HIJ are similar. Which of the following ratios is equal to \(\frac{LH}{JH}\)
A
\(\frac{KL}{JI}\)
B
\(\frac{HK}{JK}\)
C
\(\frac{JI}{KL}\)
D
\(\frac{HK}{LK}\)
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: A
\(\bigtriangleup\) is similar to \(\bigtriangleup\) HIJ
< HKL = HJI = xo
Hence, \(\frac{LH}{JH} = \frac{KH}{JH} \frac{KL}{IJ}\)
\(\frac{LH}{JH} = \frac{KL}{JI}\)
< HKL = HJI = xo
Hence, \(\frac{LH}{JH} = \frac{KH}{JH} \frac{KL}{IJ}\)
\(\frac{LH}{JH} = \frac{KL}{JI}\)
