R
60 ft

Answer 1

First, we need to find the scale factor between the two triangles. The corresponding sides are KL and PO, LM and OR, and KM and PR.

Scale factor = Length of corresponding sides in Triangle KLM / Length of corresponding sides in Triangle POR

Scale factor = 80 / 60 = 1.33

Now, we can find the length of side KM by multiplying the length of side PR by the scale factor.

Length of KM = Length of PR * Scale factor
Length of KM = 60 * 1.33 = 79.8 ft

Therefore, the length of side KM is approximately 80 ft.

So, the answer is B. 80 ft.
