DF and AC are similar

and

BC and EF are similar sides

So make a proportion


\sf{ (AC)/(DF) = (BC)/(EF) }

Plug in the numbers


\sf{ (9)/(DF) = (15)/(25) }

Cross multiply


\sf{DF * 15 = 9 * 25}

Isolate DF and simplify it


\sf{DF = 15}

And so your final answer is


\boxed{\bf{15 ~centimeters}}
