Solve for x. Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary. The number for NO is 5.7, the number for NP is 4.6, the number for OL is 4.3, the number for PM is x.

Assuming the segments form similar triangles so the corresponding sides are proportional:

NO / NP = OL / PM

Plug in values and solve for x = PM:

5.7 / 4.6 = 4.3 / x
x = (4.3 × 4.6) / 5.7 = 19.78 / 5.7 ≈ 3.4702

Rounded to the nearest tenth: x = 3.5.
