Answer
(KO)/(KL) = (1)/(sqrt(2)) given that KOP ||| KLM and Area( KOP) = Area(quadrilateral OLMP)
Step-by-step solution
3 stepsProve .
Given that .
Therefore, by Angle-Angle-Angle (AAA) similarity criterion:
Prove .
Since (from Step 1), the ratio of corresponding sides is equal to the ratio of corresponding altitudes.
is the altitude from to in .
is the altitude from to in .
and are corresponding bases.
Thus, the ratio of the altitudes is equal to the ratio of the corresponding sides:Prove .
Let .
Let .
We are given that .
So, .
The area of is the sum of the area of and the area of quadrilateral :Substitute the given information:
Now, find the ratio of the areas of the two similar triangles:
For similar triangles, the ratio of their areas is equal to the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides:
Substitute the ratio of areas:
Take the square root of both sides:
