ANSWER

C. 24

EXPLANATION

From polygon JKLMN,

JK=MN=32

Since the two polygons are similar, their corresponding sides are in the same proportion.

This implies that;

[tex] \frac{XY}{MN} = \frac{WX}{LM} [/tex]

We substitute the values to obtain,

[tex]\frac{XY}{32} = \frac{30}{40} [/tex]

Multiply both sides by 32.

[tex]XY = \frac{30}{40} \times 32[/tex]

[tex]XY = \frac{3}{4} \times 32 = 24[/tex]
