Answer:
Missing length = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the missing length.
Since the triangles are similar, ∆KLM ~ ∆KRS, therefore, the ratio of their corresponding side lengths would be the same. This implies that:
KL/KR = KM/KS
KL = 65
KR = 65 - 52
KR = 13
KM = 60
KS = x
Plug in the values
65/13 = 60/x
Cross multiply
65*x = 60*13
65x = 780
Divide both sides by 65
65x/65 = 780/65
x = 12
