In the diagram, triangles HKL and HIJ are similar. Which of the following ratios is equal to \(\frac{LH}{JH}\)
\(\frac{KL}{JI}\)
\(\frac{HK}{JK}\)
\(\frac{JI}{KL}\)
\(\frac{HK}{LK}\)

Explanation

\(\bigtriangleup\) is similar to \(\bigtriangleup\) HIJ

< HKL = HJI = xo

Hence, \(\frac{LH}{JH} = \frac{KH}{JH} \frac{KL}{IJ}\)

\(\frac{LH}{JH} = \frac{KL}{JI}\)
