Question

Use the image to answer the question.

An illustration shows a larger triangle upper N upper T upper E and a smaller triangle upper K upper L upper A, with labeled sides. On the first triangle, side upper E upper N is the base labeled as 125, side upper T upper E is on the right labeled as x, and side upper N upper T is on the left and is not labeled. On the second triangle, side upper A upper K is the base and is labeled as 5, side upper L upper A is on the right labeled as 8, and side upper K upper L is on the left and is not labeled.

Triangle NTE is similar to triangle KLA. If LA=8, EN=125, and AK=5, what is the length of TE?

To determine the length of TE, we can set up a ratio using the corresponding sides of the two triangles.

First, we can set up the ratio of the sides of the larger triangle NTE:

TE / EN = TN / KA

Substituting the given values:

TE / 125 = TN / 5

Next, we set up the ratio of the sides of the smaller triangle KLA:

LA / AK = AL / NT

Substituting the given values:

8 / 5 = 8 / NT

Simplifying the ratio:

8NT = 40

NT = 5

Now, we can substitute the value of NT back into the ratio for the sides of the larger triangle NTE:

TE / 125 = 5 / 5

Simplifying:

TE / 125 = 1

To find the value of TE, we can solve for TE:

TE = 125

Therefore, the length of TE is 125.

I apologize for the confusion. Let's try solving the problem again.

Given that triangle NTE is similar to triangle KLA, we can set up the following ratios:

TE / EN = LA / AK

Substituting the given values:

TE / 125 = 8 / 5

To find the value of TE, we can cross-multiply and solve for TE:

TE * 5 = 125 * 8

TE = (125 * 8) / 5

TE = 1000 / 5

TE = 200

Therefore, the length of TE is 200.
