Answer:

D - 33.75

Explanation:

If the rectangles are similar, then you can use this cheat:

Width:

9/4 = 2.25

2.25 is the scale factor between the two rectangles.

Using the new-found scale factor, you can do this:

15 x 2.25 = 33.75

This means the length on the second rectangle is 33.75 inches long.

Hoping this helps you! :)
