Set up a proportion for the length and width of each shape:


(3)/(5) = (x)/(3)

The numerator represents the length, and the denominator represents the width of the shapes.

Cross multiply the two fractions:


5x = 9

Divide both sides by 5 to get x by itself:


x = 1.8

The missing length is 1.8 inches.
