Answer:

x = 7.2

y = 10

z = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since ABCD ~ JKLM, therefore, the ratio of their corresponding sides would be equal. Thus:

JK/AB = KL/BC = LM/CD = JM/AD

Substitute

12/x = y/6 = 15/9 = 10/z

✔️Find x:

12/x = 15/9

12/x = 5/3

Cross multiply

x*5 = 3*12

5x = 36

x = 36/5

x = 7.2

✔️Find y:

y/6 = 15/9

y/6 = 5/3

Cross multiply

y*3 = 5*6

3y = 30

y = 30/3

y = 10

✔️Find z:

15/9 = 10/z

5/3 = 10/z

Cross multiply

5*z = 10*3

5z = 30

z = 30/5

z = 6
