Here all you have to do is draw and put in what is given then cross multiply.
I have attached a picture to show you how to.Good Luck :)

Answer: Length of UW is 5 and Third Option is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Sides of ΔTUW are proportional to the sides of ΔTRS .

So,


(TU)/(TR)=(UW)/(RS)\\\\(3)/(9)=(UW)/(15)\\\\(1)/(3)=(UW)/(15)\\\\(15)/(3)=UW\\\\5=UW

Hence, Length of UW is 5 and Third Option is correct.
