Respuesta :

the value of b is 12

Answer:   b = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, According to the question,

[tex]\triangle LMN\sim \triangle OPQ[/tex]

Therefore, By the property of similar triangles,

[tex]\frac{LM}{LN} = \frac{OP}{OQ}[/tex]

Here, LM=3, LN = 4, OP=9 and OQ= b

By putting the values,

[tex]\frac{3}{4} = \frac{9}{b}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]b = 9\times \frac{4}{3}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]b = 12[/tex]
