Answer:

The correct answer is option B. 9

Explanation:

Let two triangles ΔABC and ΔDEF are similar.

The ratio of sides of similar triangle are equal.

AB ~ED , BC ~ EF and AC ~ DF

And AB/ED = BC/ EF = AC/DF

From the figure we get,

AB = 12

ED = 18

EF = 13.5

AB/ED = BC/ EF

12/18 = BC/13.5

BC = (12*13.5)/18 = 9

Therefore the correct answer is option B. 9
