Answer:

The measure of MN is 21 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that △ABC∼△LMN.

The corresponding sides of two similar triangles are proportional.

[tex]\frac{AB}{LM}=\frac{BC}{MN}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{8}{12}=\frac{14}{MN}[/tex]

[tex]8\times MN=14\times 12[/tex]

Divide both sides by 8.

[tex]MN=\frac{168}{8}[/tex]

[tex]MN=21[/tex]

Therefore we can say that if △ABC∼△LMN, then the measure of MN is 21 inches.
