Hey there!

The answer to your question is n = 20

Since they are similar, we can use proportions:

12/15 = 16/n

Then we can use cross products:

15 x 16 = 12n

140 = 12n

20 = n

Hope it helps! Have an amazing day!

Answer:

n = 20

Explanation:

Since the triangles are similar, we can create a common proportion.


(15)/(12) =(n)/(16)

Now you have to solve this proportion

Start by cross multiplying, and you get 12n = 240

Divide both sides by 12, and you get n = 20.

Hope this helped
