Answer: RK = 4, BC = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
In a similar triangle, the ratios of corresponding sides are the same. Thus, because of sides MK and AC, the triangles have a ratio of 6/9, or 2/3. Thus, you can determine that 2/3(4x+2)=2x+2.
Distribute
8/3x + 4/3 = 2x + 2
Subtract 2x
2/3x + 4/3 = 2
Subtract 4/3
2/3x=2/3
Divide by 2/3
x = 1
Then, simply plug-in 1 for x to get that RK is 4 and BC is 6
