Solution

The problem states that the pentagons ABCDE and JKLMN are similar. This means that the ratio of corresponding sides is the same.

We can set up a proportion to find the length of KL (x).

The ratio of corresponding sides is CAB/DEL = JK/KL.

From the problem, we know that CAB = 3.6, DEL = 4.8, and JK = 3.2. We want to find KL, which we'll call x.

So, we set up the proportion:

3.6/4.8 = 3.2/x

Cross-multiplying gives us:

3.6x = 4.8 * 3.2

Solving for x, we get:

x = (4.8 * 3.2) / 3.6

x = 4.27 (rounded to two decimal places)

So, the length of KL is approximately 4.27 units.
