    If GHI and JKL are similar with the proportion of 7/5 (reduction), that means all the elements of GHI & JKL have the same reduction ratio (median, Altitude, etc.)

    Then HM/KP = 7/5. But we are given that HM = KP+6, so:

    (KP+6) / KP = 7/5. Now cross multiplication:

    5 (KP+6) = 7KP

    5KP + 30 = 7KP

    30 = 2KP and KP = 15
