Notice: RT = 18 cm MO = 24 cm So measurements in SRQ are 2/3 of NML. 18/24 = 2/3 Next, ML is 27 cm and 2/3 of that is 18. 27 * 2/3 = 27/3 * 2 = 9 * 2 = 18 cm Answer: A. x = 18

16/24 = x/27 2/3 = x/27 2(27) = 3x 54 = 3x x = 18

triangle N M L is similar to triangle S R Q ---> 24/16 = 27/x solve for x

24 is to 16 as 27 is to X 24/16 = 27/X Cross multiply 24X = 16(27) 24X = 432 X = 18
