Can Someone Help me solve this problem out? Here is the picture:

Given: EFGK is a parallelogram.
MJ = 4,
JH = 5.

Find: EM = ?

Thank you for your help!!

Can you prove the triangles similar?
\(\displaystyle \L
\Delta EMF \approx \Delta KMJ\)

How will that help me to find what EM =? The answer in the back of the book is 6, but I don't understand how you get that answer.

well, for now, ASSUME those 2 triangles are similar (per pka): what do you get :?:
