Question

In fig., PQ is parallel to MN. If $\frac{K P}{P M} = \frac{4}{13}$ and KN = 20.4 cm. Find KQ

Open in App

Solution

In $Δ K M N$ , we have
$P Q ∥ M N$
$∴ \frac{K P}{P M} = \frac{K Q}{Q N}$ [Basic proportionality Theorem]
$\Rightarrow \frac{K P}{P M} = \frac{K Q}{K N - K Q}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{4}{13} = \frac{K Q}{20.4 - K Q}$
$\Rightarrow 4 (20.4 - K Q) = 13 K Q$
$\Rightarrow 81.6 - 4 K Q = 13 K Q$
$\Rightarrow 17 K Q = 81.6$
$\Rightarrow K Q = \frac{81.6}{17} = 4.8 c m$
