UW || RS

TU = 3
RS = 15
TW = 4
TR = 9


Assume that the sides of triangle TUW are proportional to the sides of triangle TRS. What is the length of UW?

UW = 5

By AAA postulate, we know triangle TUW and triangle TRS are similar

So, ratio of sides of triangles will be equal.

TU/TR = UW/RS = TW/TS = 1/3

So, UW = 15/3 = 5
